Horowitz: This letter from Pennsylvania’s House speaker blows up the lockdown lie
conservative review ^ | · May 8, 2020 | Daniel Horowitz

Posted on 05/08/2020 11:10:35 PM PDT by conservative98

When pondering the enormity of the short-term and long-term effects of this destruction and how our government, absent strong intervention, will become increasingly a police state, read this letter from the speaker of the House of Pennsylvania, Mike Turzai, to get a sense of how we were lied to about the impetus for such drastic action.

Sadly, 3,106 of our citizens have died due to Covid-19. The average age of those that have passed away is 79 years old.

To date, of these 3,106 deaths, 2,108 of these persons lived in nursing homes, personal care homes and assisted living residences. That means 67.9% those who have died lived in these types of settings.

Of the 3,106 persons who have died, 11.9% had 4 comorbidities, 22.7% had 3 comorbidities, 27.2% had 2 comorbidities, 22.6% had 1 comorbidity and 11% had zero comorbidities. While these percentages only add up to 95.4%, these were the statistics that were provided to us verbally.

Of the 3,106 persons who died, 61% had hypertension, 54% had heart disease, 37% had diabetes and 30% had chronic pulmonary disease.

According to the Hospital and Health System Association of Pennsylvania (HAP), citing Pennsylvania Department of Health statistics, there are 37,000 beds in Pennsylvania hospitals.

As of today, 2,572 of these beds were occupied by Covid-l9 patients, which amounts to 6.95%.

There are only 539 patients in the hospitals on ventilators, which amounts to 1.46% of all hospital beds.

Hence, we chopped our proverbial head off to deal with a very defined and isolated problem. As I’ve chronicled, there’s nothing unique about Pennsylvania. This is the story of nearly every state, where 95%-100% of deaths were in nursing homes or among those with several underlying conditions, and the median age of death was either at or above life expectancy.

We knew from day one from clear studies of the Diamond Princess ship in early February that this was a problem almost exclusively for the elderly and those with three or four very specific ailments. All of our resources needed to be used to protect that vulnerable population in a targeted and strategic approach, as we do with nearly every public policy problem. Even after this became apparent, two to three weeks into the crisis, the politicians doubled down on failure and tyranny and are doing so to this day.

Our governments destroyed our entire country under the guise of caring about lives while they left the nursing homes vulnerable. We didn’t even kill the proverbial ant after using the nuclear bomb! We didn’t err on the side of caution; we erred on the side of obliteration. Now they are planning to do this intermittently in the future for viruses of even lower magnitude.

“By protecting the people living and working in care centers”

They don’t need your meddling. They already have protocols and procedures for handling infectious disease control.

The shockingly high number of care center deaths might indicate that not every care center has effective protocols and procedures.

Oh, that's right. The care center deaths are being exaggerated.

It would seem hard to make a case for conspiracy when the entire world is doing the same thing.

The entire world is not doing the same thing: Why Sweden Has Already Won the Debate on COVID ‘Lockdown’ Policy.

Somehow some folks think that all countries of the world and their leaderships have joined a preplanned conspiracy to take extreme actions in response to something that they’re sure is no worse than SARS or flu.

Ever wonder how a 10,000 page anti-2A rights bill is ready for vote days after a shooting incident? Think that document was created in the days directly after a shooting. No, it was composed and written in advance, waiting for an opportunity to deploy.

So, after SAR, Ebola, MERs, Zika, do you really believe control freak billionaires and power hungry politicians would not have been a prepared to take full advantage of the next 'crisis', if not directly play a role in instigating it?

Do you think the communist party of China would not use a virus as an excuse to eliminate dissidents during a time of national financial stress? ...and that those one world types, communists themselves, wouldn't take advantage of opportunity?

Yes, buckwheat, there is evil genius planning. causing, and/or laying in wait for opportunity.

If that’s how a naturally occurring disease is handled why do we think that’s how a non naturally occurring disease gets handled?

...as you sit around and wait for your mandated vaccine injection, never questioning the health 'professionals' disingenuous care, bias and conflicts of interests.

There’s not really much point in quoting statistics anymore because there are so many numbers floating around that point in all sorts of different directions that none of them can persuade anyone of anything.

I'll translate for you - you're a confused person, information is a blur to you, having no ability or desire to discern truth from lies because you lack knowledge enough to tell truth from lies. In short, you're a sheep, a tool.

I’ve been saying this “cure” is worse than the sickness all along.
We’re not even close to knowing the extent of the damage caused by this yet.

Awful lot of conspiracy insiders have managed not to reveal it, with copies of emails and meeting minutes on display. Of course, maybe the conspiracy got you to participate. They pay you to suggest such a thing on blogs so that it will be ridiculed. Maybe you and I are working together.

Look, if you are in on it, look to your conscience. Whatever they promised you will never be delivered. Come forth!

Please indulge my post from a thread in the early morning hours ... a thread which died quickly. Thank you.

America is in a dire situation here ... and the citizens of each state stand alone in fighting their tyranny within their respective states:

********************
What the governors are doing -- what they have become in assuming their absolute, vast, new, unquestionable and unchecked powers -- is clearly what the Founders feared most: Consolidated power in one person.

No general, even during a war, ever had complete control over the lives of 40,000,000 people as GavinNewsom has in California.

No politician, even during a crisis, ever had complete control over the lives, families and businesses of 20,000,000 people as does Andrew Cuomo in New York.

No Leftist, even during the recent upheaval to "fundamentally change the United States of America", ever had the power to suspend the rights protected by the Constitution of 10,000,000 people as does Gretchen Whitmer in Michigan.

These and other primarily Democrat/Leftist politicians (governors) have not only suspended the U.S. Constitution in their states, they have effectively cancelled the formerly "unalienable right" of Liberty, with no intention to restore that God-given right any time soon. And it is clear that this "unalienable right" wiil be restored only when the governor -- nothing more than an elected politician -- says it will be restored.

And all the while -- over the past six weeks when the forced isolation began -- federal officials including the justices on the U.S. Supreme Court and even the President of the United States, officials who have sworn their oath to "preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States of America", have stood mute. These "defenders of the Constitution" (their primary duty above all else) have allowed these governors -- primarily the Democrat/Left governors -- to turn our Constitution into nothing more than a collection of high-sounding words on pieces of aging parchment.

I think it's safe to say, after a two and half year "Russian Influence" Mueller Investigation, followed by a baseless failed impeachment attempt, that maybe, just maybe, there could be real conspiracies in play.

Suspicion and Skepticism are Vaccines for Deception

Our rights hang in the balance, it's no joke. But you are.
