Former New York Times reporter Alex Berenson -- who has quickly become of one of the key figures in a growing movement questioning the strategy to lock down large sections of the country in response to the coronavirus crisis -- is warning of a “big pivot” in rhetoric from politicians and health officials pushing the strategy.

“Yep, the public health folks, after a month of promising that within two weeks we'd be near collapse, are now making the big pivot to the ‘second wave,’” Berenson tweeted, referring to a new talking point he argues will be used to justify continued restrictions

He tweeted in response to an Atlantic article -- "Our Pandemic Summer" -- that cited experts who agreed that "life as most people knew it cannot fully return."

"I think people haven’t understood that this isn’t about the next couple of weeks,” one infectious-disease epidemiologist told the outlet. “This is about the next two years.”

This is the left’s Cloward-Piven moment, and they know it, and they’re not going to let this crisis go to waste.

Berenson is also an outstanding author of thrillers.

Progs extend till the election

Demand 100% mail in voting

Flood every State with fraud ballots.

Claim they won.

Resistance will be met with force.

.

The progs can practically taste it.

If Gropin’ Joe were to win ( ain’t happening but if he did win ) the next day all of this BS would end. This about punishing us for defiantly electing a non Deep State™ approved President.

They needed to kill the economy, they are working with forces outside of this country in a concerted effort to get back control. Lord knows what they used to barter this deed
