"The global evidence is converging on the facts: This flu is somewhat more contagious than the norm and is especially dangerous for those who are aged and already in poor health from pre-existing maladies. It is not especially dangerous for the rest of the population.
The whole concept of "lockdowns" is exactly upside down, exactly the wrong way any sane society would respond to this circumstance.
It’s the vulnerable who should be shielded while nature takes its course among the general population, who should go about life as usual. Dominionist-technocratic rigidity can’t prevent an epidemic from cycling through the population in spite of the delusions of that religion, especially since Western societies began their measures far too late anyway.
So it’s best to let herd immunity develop as fast as it naturally will, at which time the virus recedes from lack of hosts (and is likely to mutate in a milder direction along the way). This is the only way to bring a safer environment for all including the most vulnerable."
Russ Bangs
"Do not mistake anything about what is going on today, and do not underestimate the sinister aspect of this long planned and purposely-manufactured false pandemic. This is an act of terror that has been created for the purpose of spreading fear in order to gain more power and complete control over the world population. This is not only state sponsored terrorism, but is an active terroristic plot being accomplished by the state itself. The difference this time is that it is not cloaked in mystery or secrecy, there is no threat of bombs, and no group is claiming responsibility for this attack on humanity. It is terror by stealth alone, as this new claimed killer of the innocent is said to be a virus that has never even been properly or scientifically isolated or identified. No shot had to be fired in order to panic the masses, and all that was needed was a lie that could be easily sold to a population of pathetic brainwashed sheep awaiting their own slaughter."

"Sports tough guys, billionaire team owners submit to COVID.
I stand in awe of their cowardice.
Not one of them will grow a pair and say NO to COVID. They obey senseless and destructive government directives like abject weaklings. The whole lot of them.
As the three major sports leagues in America try to open their seasons, the athletes bend and bow before warnings: THE WHOLE YEAR COULD BE LOST IF ENOUGH PLAYERS TEST POSITIVE. That little worm Fauci actually controls their every move, their dollars, their careers, their teams, their fortunes. And they take it.
The team owners, rough and ready capitalists who do cutthroat business like pirates of old, meekly submit as well."
Jon Rappoport
"From now on 'Fauci' should mean 'fraud' in Italian, just as 'Ponzi' (named after Italian-American criminal Charles Ponzi) refers to a different kind of swindle (i.e., Social Security, among others). You weren’t 'ripped off,' you were Faucied. That politician isn’t a liar and a fraud, he’s a liar and a Fauci."
Tom DiLorenzo
"At one time, American troops were expected to risk their lives fighting for liberty. Later the cause worth dying for was downgraded to democracy. Now it is interests...
When I am deciding what I think of a U.S. military operation in some far-off corner of the world, I always ask the question, would this be worth my life? If the answer is no, then I don’t think it would be worth anyone else’s life either. One thing I can tell you with great certainty is that I would not be willing to die for an interest."
Richard Maybury
"The United States is a country without a media. There is no Fourth Estate, only a propaganda ministry that feeds lies into the consciousness, what little there is, of insouociant Americans, a people who have failed themselves and their country by refusing to make the effort to be informed and to hold the media accountable for its lies and misrepresentations."
Paul Craig Roberts
"Some of these protesters [in Portland]did in fact loot or participate in property damage; some of them did absolutely nothing. This is being done under 40 US Code 1315 which was signed into law by George W. Bush after the 9/11 attacks as part of the tidal wave of unconstitutional Patriot Act measures that were railroaded through during mass fear and panic.
Conservatives have been warning for years about the potential for misuse of these laws to violate people's rights. Will we now support them merely because they are being enforced against people we don't like?
The use of such tactics opens the door to terrible consequences, and I believe if we allow the feds to bend the rules now, we open the door to incremental martial law in the near future. By extension, labeling looters or rioters as 'terrorists' also has dangerous implications. As conservatives, we must understand that every extreme use of government power we support will eventually come back to haunt us.
Consider this: We might feel righteous in violating the civil liberties of social justice Marxists because of their mindless behavior and the threat they pose to the stability of the country, but what happens when the roles are reversed?"
Brandon Smith
"Since the government produces nothing, anything it even seems to provide is at the direct expense of somebody else. This simple fact evades almost everyone, from the most ignorant voter to the most powerful officials.
Government produces nothing but wars, pogroms, confiscations, taxes, inflation, and regulation, but people still, idiotically, look to it for salvation—even though it’s the cause of their worst problems.
This is why I’ve long held that the average person is not as bright as you might hope. Once you get beyond discussing the weather, the state of the roads, TV programs, and sports, there’s often no one home.
And that’s the average person. But by definition, 50% of the population is less than average. And they all vote. It’s not hard to figure how they’ll vote.
I admit to being somewhat removed from life among these people, but it’s hard to see how they can even live on so little money. Maybe they’re smarter than I think. But then, people are tolerably competent at running their own lives; the problem arises when they try to run everyone else’s too. The problem arises when they become politically active."
Doug Casey
"The crimes of the United States have been systematic, constant, vicious, remorseless, but very few people have actually talked about them. You have to hand it to America. It has exercised a quite clinical manipulation of power worldwide while masquerading as a force for universal good. It’s a brilliant, even witty, highly successful act of hypnosis."
Harold Pinter
"In spite of global travel and investment, America is not Asia and Asia is not America. America is not an Asian country. America has its own values, its own people, its own comparative advantages, its own economy, and its own ways. If it imitates its enemies, if it acts out of the fear that it must do what they’re doing or perish, it will lose its freedom and its soul.
America, being a relatively free country as countries go, is always in danger of losing its way. What is its way? Its way goes back to its basic principles. The most basic one is a country that values individual life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness."
Michael Rozeff
"Western civilization, led by the US government and media, has embarked upon a campaign of mass psychological terrorism designed to cover for the collapsing economy, set up a new pretext for Wall Street’s ongoing plunder expedition, radically escalate the police state, deeply traumatize people into submission to total social conformity, and radically aggravate the anti-social, anti-human atomization of the people…..
So far, the people are submitting completely to a (Covid-19) terror campaign dedicated to the total eradication of whatever community was left in the world, and especially whatever community was starting to be rebuilt…Any kind of human relations, from personal friendship and romance to friendly social gatherings and clubs to social and cultural movements become impossible under such circumstances. This threatens to be the end of the very concept of shared humanity."
Russ Bangs
"Today’s chain of command in this country consists of the ruling elites in banking and corporate America, followed by the political class, the mainstream media, the controlled university systems, the defenders of this power in the corrupt police and military, and finally the lowly citizenry. This is a top down command structure accomplished by a bottom up strategy. By fooling the common people into accepting desired change from the top, the people actually helped to accomplish the goal of the oligarchs. A similar psychological comparison would be the idea that the individual citizen has power over his rulers because he is allowed to vote in an election. While this is nonsense, it is still believed by most of the common people.
This entire process could be termed as a planned and controlled monopolization accomplished by the structured and corrupt elimination of competition. All aspects of life from education, health and medicine, genetically modified agriculture that now consumes almost the entire world food supply, global energy, and the entire monetary system, are controlled by a few powerful monopolies. This rule by the few over the many could never have happened unless an element of top-down control existed in the first place, and was allowed to grow at the expense of the collective masses."
Gary D. Barnett
"We believe that the American people and their institutions are under attack and that Covd-19, BLM, and the planned demolition of the economy are part of a 3-pronged offensive designed to splinter the country, rewrite its history, enslave its people, and set the stage for an alternate system in which the bulk of the nation’s wealth will be controlled by a handful of power-mad Mandarins who will stop at nothing to achieve their ambitions."
Mike Whitney
"Replace all the white and whiteness talk with the word Jew or black and step into a time machine back to the 1930s in Germany or the American South respectively and things ring very familiar. Imagine that we live in a world where the pigmentation that happens to coincide with Christendom, expanded human freedom in commerce and most scientific advances are systemically racist? The word racist has been bandied about with such abandon and furor it means nothing now.
We can all guess whose skin and gender has no legal protection in the corporate world much less the corridors of government power. Imagine a world in which your entire worldview is set on destruction of the dominant paradigm that you will replace with an economic framework that puts all power in the hands elected and mostly unelected apparatchiks because we all know that free markets can’t deliver bear the death, destruction and poverty that communism can. Communism is for two kinds of people: psychopaths and college graduates. And it always ends the same way without exception. Mass deprivation, starvation, destruction and death and the lies; the mountains of untruth, delusion and constant re-framing of the same fundamental question: why are we so fucked no matter how many regulations, diktats and statistics we manipulate.
Because central planning has never worked. The genius of free markets is the atomization of the answers whether worthy or not in ten of millions of daily decisions made by free men using prices [subjectivist marginalist price theory] to rationally allocate resources and time. Once the bureaucrat destroys that system by employing guns instead of specie, you end up with history’s boneyard (figuratively and literally) of communist and socialist shit-pits extant and dead."
Bill Buppert
"The ultimate test of the health impact of a new technology is the longevity of people who use it. During the period that people in advanced countries adopted cell phones, their life spans increased some ten years. Across countries, the curve of smartphone adoption and the curve of longevity improvement is almost identical. The more electromagnetic emissions in a country, the longer its people live (hey, even sunlight is good for you!).
A better case could be made that 5G signals will improve human lifespans through hormesis (exercising cells) than the case that these signals will impair health through mutagenesis (changing genetic codes in cells)."
George Gilder
"It makes no difference where the frontiers of a country are drawn. Nobody has a special material interest in enlarging the territory of the state in which he lives; nobody suffers loss if a part of this area is separated from the state. It is also immaterial whether all parts of the state's territory are in direct geographical connection, or whether they are separated by a piece of land belonging to another state. It is of no economic importance whether the country has a frontage on the ocean or not. In such a world the people of every village or district could decide by plebiscite to which state they wanted to belong."
Ludwig von Mises
"The true terrorists of our world do not meet at the docks at midnight, or scream 'Allahu Akbar' before some violent action. The true terrorists of our world wear 5000 dollar suits and work in the highest positions of finance, government and business."
Peter Joseph
"The pretense that the 'abolition of slavery' was either a motive or justification for the war, is a fraud of the same character with that of 'maintaining the national honor.' Who, but such usurpers, robbers, and murderers as they, ever established slavery? Or what government, except one resting upon the sword, like the one we now have, was ever capable of maintaining slavery? And why did these men abolish slavery? Not from any love of liberty in general – not as an act of justice to the black man himself, but only 'as a war measure,' and because they wanted his assistance, and that of his friends, in carrying on the war they had undertaken for maintaining and intensifying that political, commercial, and industrial slavery, to which they have subjected the great body of the people, both black and white. And yet these impostors now cry out that they have abolished the chattel slavery of the black man – although that was not the motive of the war – as if they thought they could thereby conceal, atone for, or justify that other slavery which they were fighting to perpetuate, and to render more rigorous and inexorable than it ever was before. There was no difference of principle – but only of degree – between the slavery they boast they have abolished, and the slavery they were fighting to preserve; for all restraints upon men’s natural liberty, not necessary for the simple maintenance of justice, are of the nature of slavery, and differ from each other only in degree."
Lysander Spooner
"There will be, in the next generation or so, a pharmacological method of making people love their servitude, and producing dictatorship without tears, so to speak, producing a kind of painless concentration camp for entire societies, so that people will in fact have their liberties taken away from them, but will rather enjoy it."
Aldous Huxley- 1962
"The political order desires to control the population by controlling their perception of reality. But in the last stages of collapse the government moves from benevolent totalitarianism (invisible control) to more overt aggression toward its own people.
Government produces nothing but bureaucracy. It only consumes wealth. Therefore, as government grows it consumes more of the people's production and savings. Couple this with a depreciating currency and the paper money syndrome kicks in. What's that? It's that there is never enough for government or the person.
So government under many 'emergency' pretexts creates stepped-up fear propaganda to intensify people control etc., etc. This overt and perceptible change triggers more people to wake up. So the system has moved into high gear of self-destruction but it has no options but to try desperately to slow the process of change away from its totalitarianism. Might this be revolution? Civil war? We will see."
Bob Livingston
