The Overnight Miracle of the 2020 US Presidential Election

Joe Biden: "We have put together I think the most extensive and inclusive voter fraud organization in the history of American politics.”

Citizen Free Press: The statistical case against a Biden win — Steve Cortes Breaks It Down

We have already reported on questionable system ‘glitches’ in Pennsylvania where 220,883 votes were systematically switched from President Trump to Joe Biden and another 941,248 votes were lost altogether in system reporting.

In addition we reported that in Pennsylvania, over a million votes magically appeared after election day and were counted which helped overcome President Trump’s 700,000 vote lead in the state on election night.

The next US president 'will be decided by the rulings of the Supreme Court'




The pressure campaign to force the incumbent Trump, hated by the establishment, to concede has ratcheted up to eleven.

This is all very normal for color revolutions, just ask Alexander Lukashenko in Belarus or Viktor Yanukovich formerly of the Ukraine. We can’t ask Slobodon Milosovic. He dead.

But the one thing happened they didn’t count on, Trump actually winning the election by margins in swing states that couldn’t be overcome without overt and blatant fraud.

That’s created the opportunity for a complete reversal of the current results and a successful countering of the color revolution strategy, which rests on a media-made frenzy supported by foreign government leaders to oust the sitting president from power quickly without proper adherence to the process.

Gateway Pundit: Facebook and Twitter Suspend Accounts That Posted on Benford’s Law Showing Biden’s Implausible Vote Totals — LABELING IT “SEXUAL EXPLOITATION”

In July of this year in my article ‘Election 2020: The Worst Case Scenario Is The Most Likely One’, after I outlined the strange factors surrounding Biden and Trump, I stated that:

“These factors and more lead me to predict that Election 2020 will be a contested election which ends with Trump staying in office but accused of usurping the democratic process. This outcome is the worst possible outcome and also the most advantageous for the globalist establishment.”

I also noted the predictive programming campaign by the media and members of the Council On Foreign Relations like Max Boot to acclimated the public to the idea of a contested election while also “wargaming” (planning) that exact outcome. I stated:

“…Boot is back again, this time writing about how he thinks Donald Trump will try to “hijack” the presidency in 2020.

In an article for the Washington post titled ‘What If Trump Loses But Insists He Won’, Boot outlines a scenario that was “war gamed” by a group called the Transition Integrity Project. The group played out a scenario in which there is a razor thin victory for Joe Biden, followed by actions by Trump to keep control of the presidency through lies and legal wrangling. The group also predicted civil unrest leading to potential “civil war” as the fight over the White House expands.

This article is, I believe, an attempt at predictive programming by the establishment. They are TELLING US exactly what is about to happen. A contested election, civil war, martial law, economic collapse and the US will be destroyed from within.”

Why Trumpism Will Not Die

The chief responsibility of the government of a democratic nation state is the welfare of its own people.  And the best welfare program, as Ronald Reagan stated, is a job. 

Donald Trump gained office by proclaiming what the media and the political class have long tried to ignore, which is that sending manufacturing jobs abroad and permitting mass immigration destroys American jobs and drives down the wages of those whose jobs in America remain.  

In office, Trump enacted a corporate tax cut to encourage manufacturing investment at home, built a wall to halt the flood of illegal immigrants, and imposed tariffs of cheap Chinese manufactured goods. By these means Trump drove US unemployment sharply down, with African-American unemployment reaching an all-time low.

That is the essence of Trumpism. That is why Trump received more votes in 2020 than in 2016. And the lessons of Trumpism have been noted throughout the world, which means that any Western government  presuming to continue with the globalist project for free movement of capital, technology, goods, jobs, and labor is liable for early retirement. 

So, at least does the future seem to be shaping up in Canada for Justin Trudeau's globalist liberal government, which now faces an opposition under a dynamic new leader focused not on greenery, and global do-goodery, but on the interests of working Canadians.

Joe Biden: President Elect -- Not Yet, Not Ever?

The corporate media, both in the US and throughout the English-speaking world, have declared Joe Biden US President Elect. However, President Elect, Jo Biden is not. 

Whatever the eventual result of last week's election, and votes are still being counted, re-counted and challenged, it will not determine who is elected as the next US President. 

The next US President will be elected by the Electoral College to which, according to Article II, Section 1, Clause 2 of the United States Constitution: 

each state shall appoint electors:
"in such Manner as the Legislature Thereof May Direct."
So as Jim Jatras, author of this FB post asks:
Will GOP state legislatures of PA WI MI do their duty?
And, speaking of the Electoral College vote, Alistaire Crooke writes:
Though the maths and maps suggests Biden will likely reach 270 Electoral votes, the old saying ‘It ain’t over ’till it’s over’, holds true. The electoral vote scenarios in the key ‘swing states’ would only apply if there is no litigation, fraud or theft. However all three are in play – If you are stuffing the ballot box, you first wait to see what the regular vote is, so that you know how many votes you ‘need’ (mathematical anomalies aside) to push your candidate over the top. Trump, somewhat rashly, gave out the GOP vote calculations at 02.30 on Wednesday, and hey-presto, loads of absentee ballots suddenly arrived at certain polling stations at around 04.00. That seems to have happened in Wisconsin, where over 100,000 Biden votes appeared seemingly out of nowhere on a flash drive delivered by hand from a Democratic district. That put Biden ahead in Wisconsin – but litigation is in process. Likewise, it appears that a huge “absentee ballot” dump appeared in Michigan that heavily favored Biden.

How the Post-Election US Presidential Election Contest Will Play Out

 Have you wondered why the mighty US of A cannot even conduct an exercise as simple as a Presidential election without coming to the brink of civil war? 

The reason is that civil war is what the election was intended to achieve. Here, via Zero Hedge in an imaginatively inspired piece, Pepe Escobar explains what is going on:

A gaming exercise of the perfect, indigenous color revolution, code-named Blue, was leaked from a major think tank established in the imperial lands that first designed the color revolution concept.

Not all the information disclosed here about the gaming of Blue has been declassified. That may well elicit a harsh response from the Deep State, even as a similar scenario was gamed by an outfit called Transition Integrity Project.

Both scenarios should qualify as predictive programming – with the Deep State preparing the general public, in advance, for exactly how things will play out.

The standard color revolution playbook rules usually start in the capital city of nation-state X, during an election cycle, with freedom fighting “rebels” enjoying full national and international media support.

Blue concerns a presidential election in the Hegemon. In the gaming exercise, the incumbent president, codenamed Buffoon, was painted Red. The challenger, codenamed Corpse, was painted Blue.

Blue – the exercise – went up a notch because, compared to its predecessors, the starting point was not a mere insurgency, but a pandemic. Not any pandemic, but a really serious, bad to the bone global pandemic with an explosive infection fatality rate of less than 1%.

By a fortunate coincidence, the lethal pandemic allowed Blue operators to promote mail-in ballots as the safest, socially distant voting procedure.

That connected with a rash of polls predicting an all but inevitable Blue win in the election – even a Blue Wave.

The premise is simple: take down the economy and deflate a sitting president whose stated mission is to drive a booming economy. In tandem, convince public opinion that actually getting to the polls is a health hazard.

The Blue production committee takes no chances, publicly announcing they would contest any result that contradicts the prepackaged outcome: Blue’s final victory in a quirky, anachronistic, anti-direct democracy body called the “electoral college”.

If Red somehow wins, Blue would wait until every vote is counted and duly litigated to every jurisdiction level. Relying on massive media support and social media marketing propelled to saturation levels, Blue proclaims that “under no scenario” Red would be allowed to declare victory.

Lockdowns Will Likely Worsen Corona Virus Mortality

Here's a clear explanation as to why: 

 (1) Herd immunity either through vaccination or the natural spread of the virus is the only way that the Covid19 epidemics will be ended,

(2) The extreme age-dependence of Covid19 mortality, makes herd immunity attainable with minimal mortality by allowing full mobility to young people among whom the virus will spread without serious ill effects, while reducing mobility and hence the infection rate among the old and other vulnerable individuals, and,

(3) Lockdowns, by restricting the mobility of the young while forcing young and old to cohabit in close proximity at home, may actually increase the ultimate Covid19 death toll.



Sadly, these rather obvious inferences seem beyond the grasp of political geniuses such as Joe Biden, Boris Johnson and Justin Trudeau who get to destroy large parts of the economy of the country over which they preside by making their own dim view of reality the basis of public policy.

A Cabinet Colleague's Assessment of UK Prime Minister, Boris Johnson: the Most Accomplished Liar in Public Life

From the Times Literary Supplement: a review of Tom Bower's The Gambler

Lord of misrule

Boris Johnson: an amoral figure for a bleak, coarse culture

... Johnson is after all the most accomplished liar in public life – perhaps the best liar ever to serve as prime minister. Some of this may have been a natural talent – but a lifetime of practice and study has allowed him to uncover new possibilities which go well beyond all the classifications of dishonesty attempted by classical theorists like St Augustine. He has mastered the use of error, omission, exaggeration, diminution, equivocation and flat denial. He has perfected casuistry, circumlocution, false equivalence and false analogy. He is equally adept at the ironic jest, the fib and the grand lie; the weasel word and the half-truth; the hyperbolic lie, the obvious lie, and the bullshit lie – which may inadvertently be true.

Where US Election Chaos Is Leading

By Brandon Smith:

Zero Hedge, November 5,2020: In July of this year in my article ‘Election 2020: The Worst Case Scenario Is The Most Likely One’, after I outlined the strange factors surrounding Biden and Trump, I stated that:

“These factors and more lead me to predict that Election 2020 will be a contested election which ends with Trump staying in office but accused of usurping the democratic process. This outcome is the worst possible outcome and also the most advantageous for the globalist establishment.”

I also noted the predictive programming campaign by the media and members of the Council On Foreign Relations like Max Boot to acclimated the public to the idea of a contested election while also “wargaming” (planning) that exact outcome. I stated:

In an article for the Washington post titled ‘What If Trump Loses But Insists He Won’, Boot outlines a scenario that was “war gamed” by a group called the Transition Integrity Project. The group played out a scenario in which there is a razor thin victory for Joe Biden, followed by actions by Trump to keep control of the presidency through lies and legal wrangling.

This article is, I believe, an attempt at predictive programming by the establishment. They are TELLING US exactly what is about to happen. A contested election, civil war, martial law, economic collapse and the US will be destroyed from within.”

The bizarre behavior of vote counters in swing states, including PA where they stopped the count altogether overnight, indicates a program to incite national tensions and rage. The media refusing to call certain states for Trump even though he held clear leads while rushing to call states for Biden even though the count was far from unfinished will only exacerbate people’s suspicions that the election is being rigged or stolen.

Forget the Great Barrington Declaration: Go For the WWHIN

 The Great Barrington Declaration is a call from distinguished scientists and doctors for policies to allow Covid19 to spread unchecked among those at least risk of death or severe illness due to the virus, while protecting from infection those at most risk of death or severe illness due to the virus. The object of the proposal is to allow population immunity to the virus to rise, at minimum cost in terms of deaths and severe illness, to the point at which the spread of the virus is greatly impeded, at which point all can resume normal social life at minimal risk.

The proposal is entirely reasonable, but it is framed and presented in a way that makes it easy for  Covid-boondoggle-bureaucrats, vaccine entrepreneurs, and New-World-Order promoters such as Prince Charles, all of whom see great advantage in promoting Covid19-related social and economic disruption, to characterize the proposal as hifalutin, academical and therefore worthy only to be trashed.

Instead, folks must go for the WWHIN: 

WE WANT HERD IMMUNITY NOW 

How does that work? 

Simply. No need for a multi-billion-dollar bureaucratic boondoggle. Just the cooperation of the media to ensure that everyone is aware:

First, of their age-dependent risk of severe illness or death from Covid19. 

Over 20: Covid 19 may give you a severe bout of a flu-like illness with after effects that could last for months 

Over 50: You're at elevated risk of severe illness or death from Covid19

Over 65: You are at high risk, of severe illness or death (10% probability of death) from Covid19

Over 75: You're at extreme risk of severe illness or death from Covid19.

Second, of their increased risk of severe illness or death from Covid19 due to medical conditions such as obesity, diabetes, heart, circulatory or respiratory disease.

Third, of the best means to avoid infection, these including:

Avoiding hospitals and care homes where you will be at high risk of exposure to Covid19-infected patients and staff, and

Avoiding social gatherings and crowded places including shops, restaurants and bars.

That's it. Fat fools like BoJo and thin fools like Dr. Fauci can then stand back and allow everyone to do as they please. Young people will continue to socialize and get colds, the flu and Covid19. As a result, population-wide Covid19 immunity will build rapidly to the point that viral transmission is sharply and permanently reduced.

Older people will still get colds, the flu and Covid19, but being mostly very much less socially active than the young, they will suffer fewer infections than the young. And in fact, the inverse relationship between age and social activity means that, with sensible self-imposed precautions, very few indeed of those most vulnerable to Covid19 will be infected. 

True some people will show a lack of caution and some, despite being cautious, will be the victims of bad luck, and of these some will pay the penalty of Covid19 infection leading to severe illness or death. 

Such is life — and death.

The Buffoonish Ignorance of the Trump Haters

Donald Trump had always struck me as an ignorant buffoon and most of his proposed policies were ridiculous, Ron Unz

You may not like Donald Trump, he may not amuse you, his actions may not serve your interest, but if you think that Trump — the man who built iconic New York skyscrapers, survived the failure of an airline, multiple Atlantic City casinos, and a dud "university," earned several hundred million as a television entertainer, and then, in his seventies and seemingly on a whim, set out to win, and rather easily gained, the US Presidency  — is an ignoramus and a buffoon, which is to say a no-nothing and a ridiculous person, you should perhaps consider whether it might be your judgement that is ignorant and buffoonish.

How Useless Is Google Search? This Useless

 A while ago, I published a blog post here on Google's blogger relating to the demographic consequences of Covid19. A Google search for Canspeccy +demographic yielded this result (well it did. Which is to say it yielded a bunch of useless and irrelevant rubbish). However, during the 24 hours  after I created the present post, Google's response changed to a link to Canspeccy but nothing about demographics. However, checking some weeks later (December 31, 2020), I see that Google provides a Page 1 link to the post that you are reading now, but not to the one I was looking for which was entitled: COVID-19, an Agent of Demographic Change: How the New Corona Virus Will Change the World. This further change might suggest that Google doesn't like the suggestion that it is running an information racket, although it still won't point to what someone searching Canspeccy blogposts might actually want. 

Is that useless, or what? 

Meantime, a DuckDuckGo search for Canspeccy +demographic yields this result, which includes a link to this blog post, plus the blogpost, noted above, that I was looking for. Originally the link to the post I wanted appeared on the second page of a long list of Canspeccy blogposts concerned with demographics. 

So is Google search total crap, or are we censored? 

Presumably the latter, well both actually, which would explain why our daily hit rate has fallen from peak numbers of over ten thousand to not much more than 100 a day now. 

Do we care? 

No we don't care that almost no one reads our stuff, inasmuch as even if ten thousand a day read it, it would not change the world in any noticeable way.

Yes, we do care that we are ruled by arrogant, corrupt, billionaire techie sons-of-bitches intent on imposing a techie-ruled tyranny upon the world. 

As for why we write despite being firmly muzzled? We do it to know our own mind.

Are the People of the United States About to Elect a Traitor As Their Next President?

 Evidence has emerged apparently showing that Joe Biden and members of his family are traitors, selling influence not only to the dismally corrupt Ukraine, but to America's chief geopolitical rival, China. 

The American corporate news media, with few exceptions, give every indication of complicity in this corruption by failing to provide appropriate coverage of the story, while US law enforcement agencies seem loathe to act with any seriousness in the matter. Ditto the self-proclaimed alt media such as the Unz Review and the Intercept. 

Here is an article by Glenn Greenwald's that the Intercept refused to publish:

Article on Joe and Hunter Biden Censored By The Intercept

An attempt to assess the importance of the known evidence, and a critique of media lies to protect their favored candidate, could not be published at The Intercept

18 hr312

I am posting here the most recent draft of my article about Joe and Hunter Biden — the last one seen by Intercept editors before telling me that they refuse to publish it absent major structural changes involving the removal of all sections critical of Joe Biden, leaving only a narrow article critiquing media outlets. I will also, in a separate post, publish all communications I had with Intercept editors surrounding this article so you can see the censorship in action and, given the Intercept’s denials, decide for yourselves (this is the kind of transparency responsible journalists provide, and which the Intercept refuses to this day to provide regarding their conduct in the Reality Winner story). This draft obviously would have gone through one more round of proof-reading and editing by me — to shorten it, fix typos, etc — but it’s important for the integrity of the claims to publish the draft in unchanged form that Intercept editors last saw, and announced that they would not “edit” but completely gut as a condition to publication:

TITLE: THE REAL SCANDAL: U.S. MEDIA USES FALSEHOODS TO DEFEND JOE BIDEN FROM HUNTER’S EMAILS

Publication by the New York Post two weeks ago of emails from Hunter Biden's laptop, relating to Vice President Joe Biden's work in Ukraine, and subsequent articles from other outlets concerning the Biden family's pursuit of business opportunities in China, provoked extraordinary efforts by a de facto union of media outlets, Silicon Valley giants and the intelligence community to suppress these stories.

One outcome is that the Biden campaign concluded, rationally, that there is no need for the front-running presidential candidate to address even the most basic and relevant questions raised by these materials. Rather than condemn Biden for ignoring these questions -- the natural instinct of a healthy press when it comes to a presidential election -- journalists have instead led the way in concocting excuses to justify his silence.

After the Post’s first article, both that newspaper and other news outlets have published numerous other emails and texts purportedly written to and from Hunter reflecting his efforts to induce his father to take actions as Vice President beneficial to the Ukrainian energy company Burisma, on whose board of directors Hunter sat for a monthly payment of $50,000, as well as proposals for lucrative business deals in China that traded on his influence with his father.

Thing is, the Scottish people, who still make up 95% of Scotland's population, are white, so without a genocide of the Scottish people, Scotland will go on being populated by white people. But then genocide of the Scottish people is apparently what some migrants want.

Forget Face Masks, Take Some Vitamin D


Evidence That COVID-19 Risk and Severity Is Increased in Vitamin D Deficiency Frontiers in Public Health

Early researchers reported three striking patterns. Firstly, the innate immune system is impaired by vitamin D deficiency, which would predispose sufferers to viral infections such as COVID-19. Vitamin D deficiency also increases the activity of the X-chromosome-linked “Renin-Angiotensin” System, making vitamin D deficient individuals (especially men) more susceptible to COVID-19's deadly “cytokine storm” (dramatic immune system overreaction). Secondly, the groups who are at highest risk for severe COVID-19 match those who are at highest risk for severe vitamin D deficiency. This includes the elderly, men, ethnic groups whose skin is naturally rich in melanin (if living outside the tropics), those who avoid sun exposure for cultural and health reasons, those who live in institutions, the obese, and/or those who suffer with hypertension, cardiovascular disease, or diabetes. And thirdly, the pattern of geographical spread of COVID-19 reflects higher population vitamin D deficiency. Both within the USA and throughout the world, COVID-19 fatality rates parallel vitamin D deficiency rates.

Low vitamin D status associated with 1.77-fold higher risk of Covid19 infection JAMA Network

Low vitamin D status associated with SARS-CoV-2 infection and mortality in the Indian population International Immunopharmacology

True, correlation does not prove causation. However, a study from Spain leaves little room for doubt that vitamin D enhances resistance to Covid 19. Of 50 patients treated with vitamin D, aka calcifediol, only two required intensive care, whereas 50% of matched but untreated patients required intensive care.

All hospitalized patients received as best available therapy the same standard care, (per hospital protocol) ...

Eligible patients were allocated at a 2 calcifediol:1 no calcifediol ratio through electronic randomization on the day of admission to take oral calcifediol (0.532 mg), or not. Patients in the calcifediol treatment group continued with oral calcifediol (0.266 mg) on day 3 and 7, and then weekly until discharge or ICU admission.

Results
Of 50 patients treated with calcifediol, only one (2%) required admission to the ICU, whereas of 26 untreated patients, 13 (50%) required admission p value X2 Fischer test p < 0.001.

Dumb Harry: Who Will Rid Us of This Idiot Prince?

By Brendan O'Neill

The Spectator.co.uk, October 28, 2020: Prince Harry has seen the light. His awokening is complete. Yesterday, in a video chat hosted by GQ magazine, he confessed to the sin of ‘unconscious bias’ and instructed the rest of us — the unwoke throng — to ‘educate yourself’. And there you have it: this duke, sixth in line to the British throne, is now indistinguishable from those irritating campus activists who scream ‘EDUCATE YOURSELF’ at anyone who has the temerity to demur from their worldview.

Harry was having a chat with Patrick Hutchinson, the personal trainer who was photographed carrying a counter-protester to safety during clashes with BLM activists over the summer. Harry trotted out all the woke lines. ‘Ignorance is no longer an excuse’, he said, no doubt to those still in denial about the unwitting hatred that lurks in their hearts (that’s essentially what ‘unconscious bias’ means).
I really don’t think the Duke of Sussex should be pushing divisive ideas like ‘unconscious bias’

He praised this year’s BLM protests as a ‘global movement’, like an unstoppable ‘train’, and everyone must ‘get on it’, he said. That’s easy for him to say from his swanky pad in Santa Barbara. What about the black and white working-class communities in other parts of the US whose businesses and livelihoods were destroyed by the excesses of this ‘global movement’? They might wish that this train, which involved riots, the destruction of monuments, and confrontations with diners who refused to raise their fists, would slow down a little, or maybe even come to a halt.

But it was his use of the line ‘educate yourself’ that most clearly illustrated Harry’s capture by the cult of woke. That is the most common cry of the self-elected guardians of correct-think. And don’t be fooled by their use of the term education, which of course is a good thing. They don’t mean ‘educate’ in the sense of going off to read some books and talk to people and make up your mind on an issue. No, they mean ‘get with our programme’. ‘Educate yourself’ is a demand for conformity. Really it means re-educate yourself; submerge yourself in the ways of identity politics.

That’s why Harry’s train metaphor was so revealing, too. ‘The train has left the station, and if you’re not on it now, then get on it’, he said. Leaving to one side the question of how you're supposed to get on a train that has already left, the most important part of this metaphor is its one-way nature. Trains go in one direction only. They can’t be steered somewhere else. What Harry is essentially saying is that there is only one correct way to think about issues like BLM, unconscious bias and identity politics, and if you think a different way… well, you’ll be left behind.

It was hard not to hear his wife Meghan’s voice. Did she write this script, I found myself wondering? Indeed, Harry credits his arrival in the station of correct thought to his experiences with his Meghan. He said he spent ‘many, many years’ unaware that unconscious bias even existed, but his awareness was raised by ‘living a day or a week in my wife’s shoes’. So she gave him his Damascene conversion? She turned him from the bad old Saul who wore Nazi outfits to fancy-dress parties into the Paul of wokeness, a proselytiser for political correctness?

What is striking about this is that Harry, like other royals, has worked with charities and good causes for a long time. But apparently he didn’t become properly socially aware until he spent a day or two in the company of a very wealthy celebrity from Hollywood. There’s an implicit insult in this. Apparently schools, institutions and charities in the UK failed to prise open Harry’s eyes to the problems of the world, but magic Meghan did it in a matter of weeks. Thank God for virtuous celebs, eh?

I really don’t think the Duke of Sussex should be pushing divisive ideas like ‘unconscious bias’. This identitarian ideology, which suggests that most people are racist, even if they don’t realise it, has nothing in common with the old noble cause of anti-racism. Those old struggles were about securing equality for people regardless of their racial backgrounds, whereas today’s BLM outlook encourages division. This obsession with white privilege and black victimhood; the idea that people’s hidden hatreds must be teased out, that must be corrected by a new army of therapeutic race-relations experts; it is all a recipe for suspicion and tension. Harry, get off that train.

Scared of Covid19: Here's the Risk It'll Kill Ya

 The CDC reports that, in America, the age-dependent infection fatality rates for Covid19 are:

Age             Risk of death

0    - 19       0.00003 or one in 33,333
20  - 49       0.0002, or one in 5,000
50  - 69       0.005, or one in 200
70 +            0.06, or one in 18

Or looking at that in a more positive way, Covid19 survival rates are:

Age                  Survival rate

0   - 19 Years    99.997%
20 - 49 Years    99.98%
50 - 69 Years    99.5%
70 - 80 Years    94.6%

And that's if you're infected. But thus far, probably no more than about one in ten of the world's population has been infected, so if effective vaccines materialize, you'll likely never be infected. 

And for comparison, here are all ages risk of death due to some other causes:

Cancer:                          one in     562
heart disease:                 one in     520
Respiratory disease:      one in    2104
Motor vehicle accident: one in   5243

So what those numbers show is that it would make as much sense to shutter much of the economy to protect under-50's from motor vehicle accidents as to protect them from covid-19. Yet no one in the right mind would suggest doing anything so idiotic. So why do we do something so idiotic because of Covid19? Explanations invited.

When Treason Prospers: Why Prince Charles Should Not Be Canada's Future King

For obsessive compulsives who combine ignorance with emotionality, the fixation on Covid19 avoidance is a hysterical response to irrational fear. But for most, the fixation on avoidance is simply the consequence of media brainwashing to create what Prince Charles has described as:

a unique but rapidly shrinking window of opportunity to ... set ourselves on a more sustainable course.
And what is this more sustainable course? What we're getting obviously: a shutdown (mainly permanent) of most of the small business sector of the economy to further enrich the globalist money power, while driving real wages down as central banks print trillions in new currency to destroy the wealth of savers and bond holders.

And, no doubt as a further plus in the elite view, this engineered crisis has depressed the already below-replacement birth rate of the developed nations.

Herd immunity is the only proper public policy goal. By vaccination, certainly, if and when a vaccine becomes available, but in the meantime, through the natural process of acquired immunity following infection by a virus with a kill rate little if any greater than that of the seasonal flu for all but the elderly and a few others who have the option to self-isolate.

To pursue the alternative of indefinite avoidance at the expense of the economy, of childrens' education, and the many other ill consequences of lockdowns is treason.
