How They’ll Sell Lockdown 2.0
Daily Reckoning ^ | 1/9/23 | Jeffrey Tucker

National Public Radio was in a frenzy the other morning but it felt like the movie Groundhog Day: they were spreading tremendous alarm about the rise of Covid cases.

We have to stop the spread, the announcer said, and that’s why masks are coming back to classrooms. However, they added, relief is on the way in the form of a new vaccine.

Rinse, repeat — as the shampoo bottles say.

This line of thinking — stop the spread to reduce strain on hospitals, mask up, and so on — is being echoed by all major media organs. Leading the way is of course the New York Times.

I’m a bit superstitious about stories in the New York Times designed to drum up disease panic.

It was February 28, 2020, when this paper threw out one hundred years of editorial policy on infectious disease to counsel panic over calm, thus paving the way for what would come two weeks later: the astonishing wreckage of Covid lockdowns and everything that entailed.

There was a reason the Times was chosen to be the first media outlet to take this line on Covid. It would be exceedingly naive to think that this was driven by an independent editorial judgment. Someone likely put them up to it.

Regardless, I knew that day that the darkness was falling, that this was likely the beginning of a grand experiment in public health that would not only fail to achieve its aims but also wreck American liberty and prosperity.

After all, sectors of the ruling class had been gaming pandemics for twenty years. They needed to justify the endless hours and billions put into the grand project of pandemic planning.

the main source for the transmission of COVID is radio, TV and Social Media

eliminate those three sources and COVID will disappear,

all that will remain is the same old nasty colds and flu we have always had

They get to people through their employment

most employers are forced to play along by governments or legal traps

In my case, my manager was saying our client INTEL, was forcing them to test us and firmly recommending vaxing, said mandatory vax may have been next.

So I looked it up and found INTEL is the #6 venture capital investor in the Biotech industry and they make a lot of medical testing and lab machines

The globalists were not president of the US. We were locked down by a Republican who then sent gned blank check to big pharma. As of last weeks interview he was talking about how great a job he did during covid.
Tucker was against all of this til he interviewed trump. Now he’s the water carrier for Marxist republicans.

All they have to do to get 85% obedience is have trump, Fauci n birx on the media every day. As of an interview a few days ago, trump is still proud of their work during covid. The lockdown, big pharma prez, can get this done once more.

And if Trump was still President, Putin wouldn’t have invaded your beloved Ukraine.
