What if the Lockdown Was All a Big Mistake?
Newsmax ^ | 22 April 20 | Ron Paul

From California to New Jersey, Americans are protesting in the streets.

They are demanding an end to house arrest orders given by government officials over a virus outbreak that even according to the latest U.S. government numbers will claim fewer lives than the seasonal flu outbreak of 2017-2018.

Across the U.S., millions of businesses have been shut down by "executive order" and the unemployment rate has skyrocketed to levels not seen since the Great Depression.

Americans, who have seen their real wages decline thanks to Federal Reserve monetary malpractice, are finding themselves thrust into poverty and standing in breadlines.

It's like a horror movie — but it’s real.

Last week the U.N. secretary general warned that a global recession resulting from the worldwide coronavirus lockdown could cause "hundreds of thousands of additional child deaths per year."

As of this writing, less than 170,000 have been reported to have died from the coronavirus worldwide.

It wasn’t a mistake.

It was an act of war.

Frankly I think it was a big mistake.

And such a thing should NEVER, not ever, happen again.

They are saying it might come back in the Fall. In my opinion, people won’t put up with a second shutdown. Next time around, I think we do what Sweden did and just accept the deaths. I truly do not understand the modern social notice that we should somehow create a world where people don’t die.

The folks elected to office should be required to publicly read the constitution out loud before taking the oath.

We’re going to be picking thru the wreckage of the USA for years looking for answers. Not all the answers will come all at once and some of the findings might be suppressed by whichever party is in power when that information is discovered. Or we get a Warren-Commission type report which almost nobody is going to believe.

It was intentional, to get Orange Man Bad! That is all it was. We were played big time.

Too late for that, pal. The time to resist this sh!t was WEEKS ago. Capitulating the first time means capitulating EVERY time.

And re/read the Declaration of Independence.

Parts of that sound very familiar...

The only problem with that theory is that the entire world shut down.

Now, I do believe that the DemocRATS want to make the suffering here as intense as possible to hurt Orange Man Bad, but the shutdown itself was not an evil Left Wing plot to bring down the President when all else failed.

The hope is that when it comes back, that enough people will have developed immunity that it won’t be a problem.

I don’t think there’s any question. It was a huge mistake and I just hope we’ll survive it and be able revive our country.

It’s not too late...yet.

But we need to wake up to the fact that we’re at war with Deep State.

I agree. Few, if any have read the Constitution. How can they swear an oath to something they know nothing about? I hate politicians in general.

Citizens are instructed to hunker down, isolate, and consider themselves lucky they will forever be destitute.

The chosen few, the illegals, are free to roam the world and move to the front of the relief line

The lockdown was a huge error in judgment. The release of the virus by heathen CCP was an act of war. Now, let’s get back to work.

I ask... How many have died of the common flu this season?

We don’t hear those numbers, seems all flu is rolled in the Covid-19 (WuFlu)
