The article is attributed to one Peter Koenig, but I wouldn't have been surprised if the by-line had read "Cassandra". In a story calculated to induce High Anxiety [Hello, Mel Brooks!], Mr Koenig tells us that the world as we know it is pretty much going to fall apart any day now, thanks to Covid-19, the corona virus, which is all part of a global conspiracy to kill us old people, and make the survivors slaves to a socialist world government...and defeat Still-President Trump into the bargain!
I wouldn't say it ain't so, but have serious reservations about whether recent events are really as connected, and our future really as dire, as Mr Koenig suggests when he writes: What the world is experiencing, resembles a well-planned worldwide declaration and implementation of Martial Law with socio-economically disastrous consequences, far worse than the disease itself. Nobody moves. The economy comes to an almost standstill. This begs the question, what is behind it, and what comes next?
Are we in for a second Great Depression?
Mr Koenig quotes a report on Al-Jazeera (!) calling recent heavy job losses "a staggering, sudden blow to American workers never seen before in the U.S. economy. The labor market in the coming weeks could blow past the 15 million jobs lost at the peak of the 18-month Great Recession from 2007 to 2009."
Next comes a quote from (((Goldman Sachs))) which "sees unprecedented stop in economic activity, with 2nd quarter GDP contracting 24% Goldman Sachs economists forecast a historically sharp and swift recession, with second-quarter GDP sinking a stunning 24% after a 6% decline in the first quarter. GS economist predict a further GDP decline of 5% in the second quarter."
Mr Koenig predicts: The picture of a coming mega-depression, that never existed in recent history, may continue as many of the bankrupt small and medium size enterprises – including airlines, tourist industries – et al, will be bought up by huge monopolies, that already exist, (e.g.Google, Amazon, AliBaba and more). Mergers of gigantic proportions may take place. It may be the last shift of capital from the bottom to the top in our era of civilization as we know it.
As anyone heavily invested in the stock market will tell you, the world economy is in turmoil right now. POTUS may wish that America will be open for business again -- business as usual -- as soon as next month, but it's not going to happen as quickly as that. On the other hand, it's not going to take a decade or even half a decade before we can relax our sphincters. Look at how our economy rebounded from the Spanish flu of 1919 and the lending/securities crisis of 2007-9. IMHO, we'll have to keep calm and go long for two years, three years max. Lifetime pct .970.
Killing off the old and unfit in the name of "population reduction"
The President's chief advisor, Dr Anthony Fauci, likened the corona virus to a stronger than usual common flu. "The case fatality rate," he wrote in a peer-reviewed article, "may be considerably less than 1%. This suggests that the overall clinical consequences of Covid-19 may ultimately be more akin to those of a severe seasonal influenza (which has a case fatality rate of approximately 0.1%) or a pandemic influenza (similar to those in 1957 and 1968) rather than a disease similar to SARS or MERS, which have had case fatality rates of 9 to 10% and 36%, respectively."
Mr Koenig doesn't consider the fact that a disproportionate number of deaths are occurring in long-term care facilities, with the most at-risk being aged 77 to over 100. [Are you getting nervous, Walt? Ed.] There is also a higher incidence of the disease in the, errr, non-white community. I won't go there for fear of being branded a racist [again. Ed.] But Mr Koeing picks up the ball and runs with it.
He asks: Is population reduction part of this ongoing pandemic exercise which may be followed by a compulsory vaccination program?... In 1974, under the Nixon administration, Secretary of State Henry Kissinger was entrusted – under the auspices of the National Security Council– to outline the contours of a "depopulation program" largely targeting Third World countries. A Document entitled NSC Study Memorandum 200 was drafted.
The Depopulation Agenda has remained an integral part of US foreign policy. It was also endorsed by several corporate charities and foundations. In this regard, the Bill and Melinda Gates and the Rockefeller foundations have addressed the relationship between extreme poverty and depopulation.
Then comes the anti-vaxxer, mark-of-the-Beast stuff. "The idea is, in due time (whenever the program is ready) – to use the vaccination program, possibly forced, to inject along with the vaccine also a nano-chip, that can be injected along with the vaccination program. It could be done without the person’s knowledge and later remotely uploaded with personal data, from health records, to criminal records, to bank accounts. In fact, the Gates Foundation, together with GAVI has already developed a tattoo-like chip which would be used for both, vaccination and electronic ID."
Yeah, well... As Dr Fauci points out, the Covid-19 fatality rate is not likely to be nearly as high, in absolute numbers or percentages, than that of the Spanish flu or the lesser epidemics of SARS and MERS. The lamestream media are now preparing us for a "second wave", because this first wave hasn't lived up to all the hype, but even if there is a second and a third wave, a vaccine should be available by the spring of 2022 or earlier. I will be among the first in line for my shot. I've been getting flu shots for over five years now, and have never suffered any side-effects, nor have I contracted the flu in any form. And the UN hasn't yet taken control of my mind or body.
Are we going to be living in a police state?
Every day the meeja brings us stories and pictures of police harrassing civilians for such crimes as playing beach volleyball and standing too close to others in the unemployment line. Fines up into the 1000s of dollars are being levied and people are being threatened with jail. In France, soldiers are patrolling the streets to make sure people aren't escaping from their houses.
Mr Koenig says that "people in fear and panic can easily be manipulated." Too true. Polls in every country show that the majority of those asked support giving "the authorities" more and more power to control our lives, our actions, our speech and even our thoughts. (This is where the 5G conspiracy comes in.) People are scared, and conditioned by a half-century of "liberal democracy" to abandon to the almighty State the responsibility for their own actions.
The truth is that we already live a police state. People stopped pushing back against excesses of state control around November 5th, 1968. (Look it up.) Since then, only a few libertarians (Hello, Dr Paul!) have consistently called for smaller government and the restoration of the basic rights and freedoms which "liberal" (read "statist") politicians have gradually taken away from us.
Can the destruction of our society be avoided?
Nearing the end of his argument, Mr Koenig swings from despair to hope.
We might as well call the corona virus, Virus 'F' – for Fear. And yes, people can die of fear. WHO is dancing to the tune of the powerful, of Bill Gates, the Rockefellers, the pharma giants – and the behind-the-door (invisible) WEF-politicians and bankers. All this, under the pretext of saving the world from the invisible corona virus, from a pandemic that isn't.
As this neoliberal corrupt system comes crashing down, there will be many victims, sadly, many may not survive – a lot of misery, desolation and suffering. We, as a society should act in solidarity and do whatever we can to help the victims, to reduce the damage, to the extend our hands, arms and souls with all our positive spirits and actions. And the will-power of solidarity is enormous, almost endless.
I would add that what Mr Koenig calls "the will-power of solidarity is enormous" only if we exercise it! It's a rare thing, now, for the people to rebel against incompetent and corrupt autocracies and take back their countries. It can be done, as it was in the USA in November of 2016! "Power to the people!" is not just for the lefties!!!
