Is the COVID economic collapse orchestrated? Uh … YES! Exclusive: Patrice Lewis on why the financial cost of lockdowns will worsen in January
wnd.com ^ | 12/11/2020 1943 hrs est | Patrice Lewis

Posted on 12/13/2020 7:22:54 AM PST by rktman

I'm going to be quoting a lot of sources in this column rather than writing much original content. That's because there are so many others saying things better than I can.

A few days ago, I read a piece by Daisy Luther (The Organic Prepper) called "How the COVID Response has Destroyed the Personal Finances of Americans." It was so depressing that I could only read it a little at a time. Normally Luther does a superb job of offering hope in seemingly hopeless situations; but boy, this one was a downer from start to finish.

Among much else, the author wrote: "In the United States, our personal finances have taken blow after blow. Eight million more Americans than last year are now living in poverty as millions of jobs have disappeared, never to return. Data from the review site Yelp shows that 60% of the businesses that shut down due to COVID have permanently closed. People who were formerly struggling are sinking, and many of those who were comfortably middle class are desperately trying to stay afloat. It isn't so much the virus that has caused our financial woes – it's the response to the virus. Federal, state, and local governments have deemed what businesses are allowed to operate and how they must do so. This has resulted in the loss of businesses themselves, loss of sales, and loss of jobs. Nearly every family is feeling the effects to some degree."

Scamdemic. Plandemic. The elites will continue to thrive and those outside of those ranks will struggle for the most part. Sadly, (s)elections may have some serious consequences. Those that fully support dumping Trump and inserting byeDUHn/carmela d'Ho have NO clue what they've done. They think they want what they voted for. Sadly, they have no actual clue what having big brother control your everything will be like. Some of us have seen it, some have lived it. Not a good time for a lot of folks. Probably even less so for anyone that supports conservatism, individuality, self reliance and freedom. Thanks for sharing Patrice. Toss in the assclowns planned commitment to "save the erf" and things will quickly devolve. Prayers up for our nation.

It was a lot of misdirection to keep people bottled up while the DEMs and the Deep State were in the process of rigging the election. I said so back in the Spring, but few were listening.

Yes, but why aren’t the lockdowns ending now, with that objective accomplished?

The communist plan is to make people impoverished so they turn to government which is doing this to create the people’s dependence on government. Power and control.

The people need to rise up, stop this nonsense about a virus, and get back to work. Any government agent that tries to stop them needs to meet extreme violence by the rest of the population.

We now are becoming more aware that the rats and china are deep into this. I believe trumps executive orders and a military tribunal will be the only sure way to eradicate this infection once and for all. When the FBI, DOJ, CIA congress, the senate, local and state governments corporations and the media and now the supreme court have been infected there is no other alternative. Who is going to fix this? The president and the military

The objective is to have people clamoring for government to step in and, "protect" them through socialist and communist policies. Gimme, gimme, gimme!
To achieve that they will happily destroy America.

My wife is one of the least conspiratorial types, but she was focused on Biden staying in the basement and not campaigning as if he KNEW the election was his.

She expressed that view several times over the weeks/months preceding election day.

********************************************************
They aren’t yet 100% sure their election theft won’t be “vacated” plus they have in mind some radical executive orders and potential legislation for which they need some measure of “justification”.

Plus, of course, they still hate American and most Americans so they like to see them damaged.

Weaponizing health care, money, speech in social media... welcome to political correctness communist lynching and civil war.

We did not start it, the media cowards and big tech behind the curtains did.

As usual it is the cowards starting sht they cannot finish .

It starts to make sense now that communists are always a rich people thing masquerading

Capitalism and Free Enterprise as they have been defined in the USA today are why Socialism is alive and well and headed our way....

Think about it as this article points out the middle class and poor have been devastated by this virus, prior to that the elites in this country sold out the middle class by exporting our manufacturing wiping out millions of good paying jobs...

Who has all this benefited ?? Washington and Wall Street....

Look who has benefited by this virus, the big box retailers and online retailers like Amazon and the power seized by state and local governments....

To millions of Americans Capitalism and Free Enterprise looks pretty terrible right about now...

People are desperate and will seek out anything to help, socialism despite never working is going to the answer to a bunch of people who see no other alternative...

It is orchestrated criss all right. They have been saying what they will do for years. “Before the new system is built, the old system must be torn down.”

The lockdowns are more harmful than the virus it’s supposed to stop the spread of but doesn’t.

early next year...theres gonna be a concerted effort to rally this nation for massive tax increases..the entire world will clamor for the United States to finally stop being “cruel” and join the world to be a quasi-socialist country. Theyve been waiting for this for decades..the so called “big reset”. Theres a big difference...this has never been tried on a population as large and armed to the teeth....this is not gonna end well....

60% of small business owners are conservatives. Liberals love destroying them.

I knew America was done back in March when I saw how many FREEPERS — of all people — were clamoring for people and businesses to lock down ... and even scolding other Freepers for refusing to abide by that idiocy.

Lockdowns....typical of Athiests,non believers and I will add lukewarm Christians...turning to their own desires and “ understanding”, and not turning to God....the departure from God and his word. ...be very careful of what you will put into your bodies, for me, it is God’s word and promises, not vaccines. The beauty of God is his gift of freedom, choice, and the spirit. Anything that infringes upon these gifts is evil.
