I would say it doesn’t have to be that planned out or even sinister.
They have been waiting, especially Fauci, his whole life for some virulent pandemic to spread, so they could be seen as the white knights riding in to save the day. Gates even released a bunch of mosquitoes on stage to scar donors into giving up cash to fight malaria.
Seriously, look at all the books and movies on this issue alone. Micheal Crichton books, Dustin Hoffman the acting Fauci, even President Morgan Freeman...
Without a handful of brave doctors coming out and telling the truth about what a con this all is we would have been sheltering in place forever.
That would lead to every time someone gets sick and dies the cabal would cry for more sheltering in place.This would only create more havoc(chaos—a key desire for the cabal) in so many ways,immune systems crashing,spousal abuse, child abuse, alcoholism,not to mention crashing an economy with already millions unemployed and who knows how many small businesses that won't every come back.
Over and over it would happen until there is nothing left to crash which is what the Illuminati want. They already control a sizable amount of the wealth of the world anyway but they don't control us. Don't forget second amendment this is big as well once our guns are gone so are we.
