A Previous pandemic with no hype resulting in hysteria or draconian measures--why is covid-19 so different?

Comment: For those who are old enough to remember the Hong Kong Flu, the only comment ever heard was "There is a nasty flu bug going around".  Also, there were No Lockdowns: During The Terrifying Polio Pandemic of 1949-52 . There definitely was well-deserved fear of this wretched disease. However, there was no mass panic and no iron-fisted restrictions. Some common-sense measures were suggested and "social distancing" was voluntary. What a difference 60+  years makes.

Woodstock Occurred in the Middle of a Pandemic

By Jeffrey A. Tucker

In my lifetime, there was another deadly flu epidemic in the United States. The flu spread from Hong Kong to the United States, arriving December 1968 and peaking a year later. It ultimately killed 100,000 people in the U.S., mostly over the age of 65, and one million worldwide.

Lifespan in the US in those days was 70, whereas it is 78 today. Population was 200 million, as compared with 328 million today. It was also a healthier population with low obesity. If it would be possible to extrapolate the death data based on population and demographics, we might be looking at a quarter million deaths today from this virus. So in terms of lethality, it was as deadly and scary as COVID-19 if not more so, though we shall have to wait to see.

This autumn will be a time of serious horse trading that may finally result in the announcement of a world accord designed to replace the system built after World War II.  The U.S. military-industrial complex, Asian secret societies, the Chinese Communist party, the British Commonwealth, the Vatican, the Russian Orthodox Church, the Muslims, and other groups are all in basic agreement that this planet cannot continue business as usual.  They are also starting to agree on a structure for a loose but unified planetary federation.

Are we closer to the end of days than we think?

Merging Of Commerce, Religion, Politics - Stepping Stone To Mark Of The Beast?

Every few years attempts are made at removing "In God We Trust" from US currency but, as in other years, the Supreme court has rejected the most recent case attempting to prove the entanglement of state and religion with currency.

In a previous ruling, the 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals said the Establishment Clause of the Constitution doesn't force the government to purge itself from all religious reflection.

Does the average American truly understand the Socialist threat looming on the horizon?

Can America Fight Off the Socialist Mind Virus?
by Daniel Carter 
In the early 1990’s, the famous biologist Richard Dawkins wrote an essay entitled Viruses of the Mind. In this essay, Dawkins describes religion as a mind virus that spreads from human to human for the sake of its own survival.

Think whatever you want about Dawkins or his theories on religion. I personally think religion has become much less of a threat than political ideology since The Enlightenment period, which is why I will attempt to apply his mind virus theory to what I consider the biggest ideological threat to American values, socialism.

A historical approach and interesting take on the rise of secret societies and globalism

Long but informative.

 By Bas Spliet

“The conscious and intelligent manipulation of the organized habits and opinions of the masses is an important element in democratic society. Those who manipulate this unseen machanism of society constitute an invisible government which is the true ruling power of our country. We are governed, our minds are molded, our tastes formed, our ideas suggested, largely by men we have never heard of.”[1]
Edward Bernays, nephew of Sigmund Freud and founding father of modern propaganda, 1928

And so it begins, a mob ruled reign of terror

 

 Antifa is well beyond, indeed was never really under, the Democrat party's influence. They are merely tools and servants to their masters, the globalist elites.
Even though the midterm elections are over, the violence will not only continue but will intensify. Expect it and be prepared.


Mob chants threats outside Tucker Carlson’s DC home

A self-described left-wing Antifa group posted videos of a mob outside the Washington, D.C., home of Fox News’ Tucker Carlson Wednesday evening, chanting, “Tucker Carlson, we will fight. We know where you sleep at night.”

The now-deleted video was posted on social media by Smash Racism, D.C. The same group made headlines in September after activists confronted Sen.Ted Cruz, R-Texas, and his wife inside a restaurant during Brett Kavanaugh's Supreme Court confirmation hearings.

We are officially on the highway to Hell. Is there an off-ramp?

The following article may not be as surreal as it seems. The censorship via the social media tech giants has become obvious.
Unfortunately, that is only the beginning. We are well on the road toward a dystopian society in which the "average" person will be regarded as a robot to be programed into endless servitude "for the greater good".
Can the dynamics discussed in the following article be stopped?

How Globalists Plan To Use Technology And Poverty To Enslave The Masses
by Brandon Smith

Radical Islamism and Reality

Unfortunately, there remain far too many people who are either too good hearted or contemptuous of their own culture to accept the fact that Islamism is a totalitarian ideology bent on  world domination.  Its adherents show no compassion or mercy toward non-believers and will either enslave or murder them. 
Additionally, the extreme elements have no compunction over abusing and/or executing fellow Muslims who are deemed to be not Muslim enough. Many such have have suffered horrendously under their hands.
Below are excerpts from five articles, with links to the entire ones, which discuss the issue from many perspectives and are well worth the read.

Does Socialism lead to the acceptance of Satanism?

This post contains excerpts from five different articles, each of which discusses the subject from different angles.

It begins with the educational system which gradually spills over into cultural acceptance.

The Face of US Socialism: From the Erasure of American History to the Rise in Satanism

Posted on August 19, 2018 by Tony Elliott
Over the last few years in the US, various cities have removed Confederate monuments, statues, and memorials of anything supposedly to do with slavery and or suppression. This has and is still being done under the direction of various chapters of Black Lives Matter and ANTIFA via those in local office who are members of these groups.

The truth from Elizabeth Warren?

Even liars either wittingly or unwittingly tell the truth at times. Elizabeth Warren has now completely outed not only herself, but the majority of Congressional Dems as well.

Many voters are beginning to realize the Dem party's socialist move   toward the economy as well as the hate and intolerance of  its leftist wing.

In conclusion, if the nation is truly moving toward the alt left, the Dems will win, gradually become totalitarian, and the nation will be just another failed socialist experiment.

However, rumblings of awareness seem to be increasing. Defenders of our Constitution and the freedoms it guarantees are awakening and they must learn to maintain vigilance and present their case.They need to fully explain the emotional impact wrought by a totalitarian system  which is inherently coupled with its devastating financial and political meltdown.

The enemy never sleeps and is an expert in promoting propaganda and class warfare in order to divide and conquer.

The following article discusses Elizabeth Warren's dream of a futureSocialist AKA Communist America.

She and her ilk are either politically and economically clueless or complicit in the increasingly obvious war to  bring America down.

Elizabeth Warren eyes 50% tax rate, says Dems will end Trump tax cuts if they take back Congress 
by Samantha Chang

Elections have consequences. Just Senator Elizabeth Warren, who suggested that a 50% to 90% personal tax rate for Americans is not out of the question. Warren made the shocking admission in an interview with CNBC.

The rise of the American brownshirts?

Brian Fallon

An enemies list! My my, the elites are getting desperate and nasty.
We are already being spied upon by the electronics we have in our homes. Thus, a compilation of traitors to the cause should be relatively easy these days. 
The elitist jackboot is coming ever closer to our collective neck.
However, the suggestion did produce some interesting twitter backlash as noted below.

‘Not surprising!’ Former Hillary aide calls for a ‘sellout list’ of progressives who don’t toe the Party line

The Globalist plan to bring down the world economy

The economy is one of the five major social institutions endemic within every culture. Everyone of them is under totalitarian elitist attack. 
The article below discusses the globalist plans to  shape a world economy to their specifications. Read domination. 
Can they be defeated?

Globalists Are Telling Us Exactly What Disasters They’re Planning For The Economy
This article was written by Brandon Smith and originally published at Birch Gold Group

Years ago when analysts used the term “globalist, there was an immediate recognition among liberty advocates as to who they were referring to. This was back when the movement for small government, the non-aggression principle and true free markets was small but growing. These days, it’s difficult to gauge how many liberty groups there are or even if they know what small government and the non-aggression principle represent, let alone what makes a “globalist” a globalist.

The Jihadi threat is alive and active

 

For the past several weeks, the focus has been primarily on domestic and foreign affairs. The issue of Islamist terrorism has more or less fallen off the media radar. That is a mistake.
The public needs to be continually informed about the activities and intents of the jihadi organizations that reside within America as well as in Europe. 
They continue to be quite active, and many plots have been foiled. However,  there seems to be no major reporting regarding those activities.
The following two posts discuss the ongoing homegrown domestic threat and an organization that has a significant presence in America.
There are two added related links at the end.

Homegrown Terror Threats Increasing, as Intel Finds Foreign Born Citizen-Jihadists Are Plotting Attacks Across America
By Geller Report Staff - on July 11, 2018

Homegrown terrorism is a rising threat in America, as intel officials report arresting or convicting at least nine foreigners living in this country for terror-tied charges in just the past few weeks.
Most of these cases have gone forth quietly in the courts, with little mainstream media fanfare.
But cases of Islamic extremism in America are a rising threat, according to House Homeland Security Committee reports in recent weeks.
Remember September 2016, when three terror attacks hit the United States in one day?  
(emphasis mine)

An enlightened former BLM activist speaks the unvarnished truth!

 

The excellent article below speaks for itself. The man so gets it!

Former BLM Activist Exposes Left’s Exploitation of the Movement
The Left is leading blacks to slaughter, viral video affirms.
July 9, 2018
by Matthew Vadum

The Left is using blacks and the compromised Black Lives Matter movement to launch a violent civil war in the United States, according to a popular viral video by a former Black Lives Matter activist.

The video has been receiving a great deal of attention from conservatives because it gives voice to concerns and anxieties expressed by Trump supporters in this time of escalating hostility and physical violence against those who support the Trump administration.

Prior administration sanctioning Russian hacking of our election?

Here is another outstanding insightful article by Daniel Greenfield regarding the machinations of the previous president.  

Why Obama Wanted the Russians to Hack the Election
How the two deep state intel operations fit together.
by Daniel Greenfield
 
Why the hell are we standing down?"

That was the question that the White House's cybersecurity coordinator was asked after Susan Rice, Obama's national security adviser, issued a stand down order on Russia.

Testimony at the Senate Intelligence Committee hearings on Russian interference in the election once again raised the central paradox of the Russia conspiracy theory. If Russian interference in the election represented the crisis that we are told it did, why did Obama fail to take any meaningful action?

Mueller has a long line of highly questionable motives and behavior

Appalling actions, which border on treachery and/or treason,  committed by Mueller and others within the previous administration are now being exposed.
Can our Republic recover from the intended damage?
Is the will of the people enough to keep Trump in the Oval Office? 
Can he reverse the course set by the now exposed enemy within who has relentlessly plotted his downfall? 
The following article discusses but one facet of betrayal by our prior leadership--Mueller's role in dealing with Islamist terrorism.

From 9/11 to Spygate: The National Security Deep State

The men that failed on 9/11 used their new powers to suppress the truth about Islamic terror.

by:  Daniel Greenfield

On September 4, 2001, Robert Mueller took over the FBI. At his confirmation hearings, fraud had overshadowed discussions of terrorism. And as FBI Director, Mueller quickly diverged from the common understanding that the attacks that killed 3,000 people had been an act of war rather than a crime.

Dumbed down College students dangerously clueless

 If this is what our centers of higher learning are turning out, our republic is on its last legs and ripe for totalitarian globalist picking.
The attack on our social institutions of education and religion, read Christianity, by the elites  has been remarkably successful. 
Thanks to indoctrination replacing education, the inability of far too many college students to think clearly is breathtaking.
The following post is religious in tone, but spot on regarding the basic content.


College Students Say Christians Should Be Forced To Bake Cakes For Sodomite "Weddings" - Change Their Tunes When Christians Aren't The Subject

As soon as the question was altered slightly of a scenario of a black baker refusing to provide a cake for a Ku Klux Klan rally, the students said the baker shouldn't be forced, but were obviously confused and understood they were contradicting themselves.

Globalists and the idealists they manipulate continue working toward a perfect society by 2030.

Do not be fooled. Globalism aka Communism is on the move and more militant than ever.
The following article remains pertinent to this day. It also gives insight regarding the "establishment" hatred and vilification of Trump bordering on a collective psychosis.
He has definitely upset the applecart and the more apples that fall, the more intense the effort to smear and overthrow him. He remains in danger, and the only shield he has is the electorate who continue to support him.

Forget Agenda 21: UN’s 2030 Agenda Will ‘Transform the World’

Posted on June 5, 2018 by Daisy Luther

(A version of this article was originally published Sept. 2015)
If you think Agenda 21 was bad, you ain’t seen nothing yet. Wait until you learn what the creepily utopian 2030 Agenda has in store for us all.
Once again Germany has stepped forward with their ideas of how to speed up the arrival of a one-world government.

While all eyes were on Obama and his creepily NWO speech,  the German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier gave an address which went largely unnoticed.  It was a lengthy speech – you can read his entire address here – but these are some takeaway points:

Yes, Trump's policies ARE working

 

The article below discusses the success of Trump's economic policies, including the much maligned tax cut. 
The post contains links verifying the positive assertions as well as two related links added by me.

 

Trump Policies Setting Records

by D JollyJune 2, 2018

Gloom and doom was the mantra of Democrats and the mainstream media, referring to presidential candidate Donald Trump. They swore that his policies would surely send America into a financial tailspin that would take years to recover from, if recovery was even possible.

Related: After 500 days in office, here are President Trump’s accomplishments thus far. Historic! Unprecedented! MAGA to the max!

 Trump promised to end Obama’s war on coal and oil, which sent liberal environmentalists crazy. Instead of wasting billions of taxpayer dollars on one failed green energy project after another, Trump ended many of the anti-coal and anti-oil regulations imposed by Obama and it’s working. 

The EU iron fist comes down on those who reject mass migration and destruction of their cultures

Once again, a concept billed as "good for the people" turns into a totalitarian nightmare. 
Although the leadership of a few Central European  nations are in line with the wishes of their populace, unfortunately most others are not. 
The chasm between the governing bodies and those they rule continues to widen. 
This situation does not bode well for EU's the long-term stability, and could eventually lead to outright rebellion.
The article below discusses the financial club that Brussels is going to use on nations resisting migrant invasion which will lead to cultural destruction and totalitarian Sharia rule. 
The EU overlords are either mentally dense, or in complete collusion with an ethos destroying policy which can only lead to dystopian globalist domination.

Patriotic Visegrád nations in the east will each see their regional funding from Brussels slashed by around a quarter under new European Union (EU) budget rules which reward the intake of third world migrants.
