660,000 white flags fly across National Mall for victims of COVID-19

More than 660,000 white flags have been displayed in a solemn tribute across a vast expanse on the National Mall in Washington, DC — each representing a life lost to the coronavirus pandemic in a heart-rending exhibit called “In America: Remember.”

The 20-acre installation — which was unveiled Friday near the Washington Monument — is the second chilling exhibit that artist Suzanne Brennan Firstenberg said is based on a project trying to capture the “human dignity” behind the staggering death toll.

As of Friday, 670,034 deaths — one of every 500 Americans — have been recorded in the US and more than 41,700,000 cases confirmed, according to figures from Johns Hopkins University.

Virtue signaling or a thoughtful tribute?

Virtue signaling.

Where’s the flags for those who died of suicide, OD, alcoholism, and preventable medical issues during lockdowns?
How many dead is that?

Nothing symbolic about it.

Propaganda designed to inspire fear and obedience. Every dictatorship uses it. Fear is a wonderful system for getting compliance.

The DC putsch is no different.

Touchy feely. We could and should learn from it. We are touchy feely when it comes to the unborn.

“one of every 500 Americans”

The new talking point. I think I’ve heard that 20 times since yesterday.

Surrender Flags.

“...one of every 500 Americans...”

It’s a pity we couldn’t chose which ones had to go, much like Governor Cuomo and Governor Evers (D, WI) did! :(

Utter f’ng crap. 660K died of “SOMETHING” databased to be “covid” but a HELL Of a lot of other disease modalities along with SOME KIND of indistinguishable coronavirus S-Protein as determined by.... PCR. PCR which cannot differentiate between prior coronavirus infection with S-Protein genetic leavings in the patient... and the S-Protein of the Sudden Acute Respiratory Sickness/Coronavirus id 2019.

This entire “display” is based on layers of false data and derived information. Sort of like anthropomorphic “global warming” morphed into climate change as causality.

Total utter bullcrap. Woo-hoo woo woo. Fear porn memorial.

chilling exhibit that artist Suzanne Brennan Firstenberg said is based on a project trying to capture the “human dignity” behind the staggering death toll.

Let's put this in perspective in just baby killing alone:

Total number of abortions in the U.S. 1973-2018: 61.8 million+

186 abortions per 1,000 live births (according to the Centers for Disease Control)

U.S. Abortions in 2017: ~862,320 (Guttmacher Institute) Abortions per day: 2362+ (GI) Abortions per hour: 98+ (GI) 1 abortion every 37 seconds (GI)13.5 abortions / 1000 women aged 15-44 in 2017 (GI)

The side effects of the jab poison,lockdown,societal upheaval and sucking all healthcare for the scamdemic/shedding workers who refuse to vaxx has and will continue to kill MILLIONS.

I’m sure the globalists are unhappy that the inflated numbers aren’t even higher.

And no tribute to the Americans that were bombed in Afghanistan?

No tribute to those Americans stranded at the airport?

No tribute to those beheaded by 7’th century barbarians?

No tribute to those who died of this plandemic and denied EFFECTIVE inexpensive treatments?

No tribute to those who ave contracted diseases spread by free loaders crossing our open border?

No tribute to those assassinated compliments of our government arming terrorists?

660,000 deaths attributed to COVID. 4.7 million confirmed cases. Are these now considered to be facts? Because there are no facts about COVID.

1.6% of confirmed cases resulted in death. We are coming up on 2 years, since it was first widely spoken of to the public in January of 2020. The total deaths number has not grown much since June 15, 2021 when it crossed 600,000 total. 9% of the deaths have occurred in the last 3 months.

7 three-month periods have passed since COVID was first introduced. It is clear that the number of deaths, and therefore the rate of death, is dropping. We will remain in fear mode at least through the winter, because colds and flu always get worse in winter. There will still be a lot of confirmed cases and of course many deaths will be blamed on, er I mean, ahem, attributed to, COVID.
