It's been a year since the world encountered COVID-19. On December 31, 2019, the WHO China Country Office was informed of cases of pneumonia of unknown etiology detected in Wuhan City, Hubei Province of China. On January 21, the virus made it to the U.S.
As the events unfolded, we've seen the Trump administration being just as effective as the Democrat governors and legislators were inadequate. Mainstream media portray the Chinese virus as some kind of zombie apocalypse with an imminent death awaiting everyone who dares peek a nose outside his basement. To get a picture of how ridiculously and painfully overblown the threat was (and is), I highly recommend analysis of Brian Joondeph, M.D., who proves that the COVID-related narrative and politics have no more to do with science than, say, a demented and corrupt man being president of the United States.
So how come a virus with mortality rate ranging from 0.00004 to 0.028 percent in the older population (which is relatively easy to protect), while close to 100 percent of those cases are associated with underlying conditions, with hyper-sensitive tests could cause economic devastation comparable to a world war? Why would the governments shut down the whole economic sector deemed "unessential," while claiming to save lives, when in fact they brazenly destroyed them and continue to do so? Why, with the arrival of vaccines, does Joe Biden say our darkest days in the battle against COVID are ahead of us, not behind us? Is it really about COVD — or the destruction of the booming economy and a prosperous society?
The leftists did and do everything to undermine efforts to save the economy — and lives. There is no contradiction here.

It is about making us all poor.
Politically, in feudal society, two classes primarily exercised power — what the French referred to as the First Estate, the clergy, and the Second Estate, consisting of the warrior-aristocratic elite. Everyone else, even wealthy merchants, resided in the Third Estate, and most were peasants living at subsistence levels.
We are beginning to see the elevation of two powerful classes — one dominant economically, the other culturally.
The new lords, a class of “woke” tech oligarchs, share a “progressive” agenda and align with the Democrat party. This oligarchic drift has been building for years, as wealth has shifted from traditional resource and manufacturing industries to software, media, finance, and entertainment. In sharp contrast to energy firms, homebuilders, and farmers, the regulatory state does not threaten the bottom lines of these industries, as long as it refrains from breaking up their virtual monopolies. During the pandemic, their net worths have surged.
Another beneficiary class is a neo-clergy, encompassing professions such as consultants, lawyers, top-level government officials, medical specialists, and media professionals who interpret their prophecies. A part of the “expert” class has emerged as “the privileged stratum,” operating from an assumption of “moral superiority” that justifies their right to instruct others. Rest assured: from the beginning of the pandemic, these people have not missed a single paycheck.
With the middle-class economy largely shut down and, in the best-case scenario, in for a long and painful recovery, the pauperization is staggering. In the U.S., the ranks of the poor are projected to increase by as much as 50 percent, to levels not seen in at least a half-century. Liquidating America’s kulaks serves the purpose of thinning not just the Republican electorate, but also the Third Estate as the basis of capitalist society. Notably, these trends disturb at least one thinker on the left, too.
The Dark Night.
I was explaining to a Leftist co-worker recently about the disappearance in everyday life of words like fealty and calumny. I explained that the words used to describe servitude had to go away before servitude could be re-implemented. If no one knew how to describe it they would not be able to properly identify it when it was implemented.
The local talk station here plays Fox News (barf) during commercials. They are full on swamp rats and they make no pretense otherwise now.
There was their breathless reporting of “COVID 19 kills Tuskeegee Airman.” The last sentence of the story was, “he was 1 week away from his 101st birthday.”
COME ON MAN!
Yup. I get that too with my local fox affiliated radio station. Only reason I keep it on is so I can listen to Rush.
I’ve said it for years, their goal has always been a New Feudal World Order. Oligarch King/Queens rule all because they have all the wealth and property. Lords (govt and big business leaders) administer the dictates from the Oligarchs and are rewarded for it. Knights (Security State) enforce the dictates and are rewarded for it. Serfs provide the basic labor for subsistence (Universal Basic Income). Those that do not comply are rounded up and eliminated. We are living this reality now.
This is the weak link in the whole house of cards. It’s the one part of the system that is guaranteed to turn into a joke.
I always remember the example of a former business associate of mine who worked as a on expert consultant in energy matters. If I posted his name here some folks might recognize it. To paraphrase him:
“I know all this ‘climate change’ crap is a hoax, but if a governor or big-city mayor wants to pay me a lot of money to tell them how to combat it, I’ll gladly do it!”
Very good article.
Needs to address the role of criminals in this neo-feudalism.
Important to remember, both groups HATE the middle class.
The poor hate the middle class because they are jealous of them; the rich because they are afraid of them.
I am beginning to believe that coding for these must be like being a galley slave.
What better way to take us over than by buying up our land and business and ports, and making sure we are as pliable as possible?
China wants to take over the US without firing any nuclear bombs. They want our clean air, and tree-lined streets and our farmland.

Exactly. The Chinese have certainly been silent about their intentions, right? You have hit the nail on the head. Unfortunately, we have too many people who will not believe it until they are part of it. I have been talking about how wary we should be of the Chinese. We owe them too much...and they have thousands of students over here studying our technology, etc...ready to take over. I wonder how many American students, a dozen? 5 dozens? have gone to China to be similarly schooled????
Yep, we go to China to either help them set up factories or we teach them American English.
The following is a speech given by the Chinese general who stomped down the Tiananmen Square protest:
