"Because one thing’s for certain, judging by the tepid backlash against the institutionalized cretins who carried out the largest biowarfare attack in history, there are not enough true anti-establishment fighters, nor the consensus of the willing to build a critical mass strong enough to upend the system and break its resistant matrices of control."

You lose all credibility with posts like these.

The reality of what happened is simple and completely different from the conspiracy theories that are gaining traction now.

1) The world is vastly overpopulated and increasingly encroaching on wildlife, meaning that the rate of zoonotic transfer of novel pathogens from what was previously isolated wildlife populations (such as bats in caves in China) has greatly increased in recent decades. This is a simple ecological fact. If it leaked from a lab, that is a second-order manifestation of the same phenomenon -- these viruses were studied because we had SARS-1 in 2003 and it was known this is a major threat.

2) It was inevitable that we would eventually get a serious pandemic. There were many close calls, SARS-1 in 2003 being a notable example, but those were contained because proper protocol was followed. It is also inevitable that we will get more pandemics in the future, because the underlying factors -- an overpopulated, globalized world in which a novel pathogen can hop from continent to continent in mere hours -- remain the same.

3) In the course of the 20th century, one of the major civilizational achievements of humanity was getting rid of dangerous infectious disease. In the West we basically forgot about that as a problem, it only remained one in what we dismissively referred to as the "Third world". That was achieved by following proper public health protocol, which involved mandatory vaccinations, and harsh NPIs when needed (Non-Pharmaceutical Interventions). The last time smallpox appeared in Europe was in 1972 in Yugoslavia, and the country was under Wuhan-style lockdown for several months until it was contained (in fact the Wuhan lockdown was quite obviously modeled after the Yugoslavia one).

4) The problem is that you can't follow proper public health protocol under neoliberalism. It means shutting down parts of the economy, and that hurts profits. In this case China should have been isolated from the rest of the world in mid-January 2020, while everyone with travel connections to China should have been hunted down and quarantined, but that was vetoed by the travel and tourist industries, which ensured global spread.

5) Their plan after that was to just shrug it off and let people die -- remember that as late as the first week of March 2020 the NYC mayor was telling people to go out and have fun -- but the brutal reality of collapsed healthcare systems and the threat of having uncollected corpses lying in the streets forced them into shutting things down (in the end they only had corpses in the streets in places like Guayaquil in Ecuador).

Because if they had told everyone "keep going to work and sending your kids to school regardless" while people are dropping dead like flies, that would have threatened the system by revealing its absolute inhumane monstrosity to everyone in no uncertain terms. The infection fatality rate in the US in March 2020, before there was any worked out treatment protocol, was 1.5%. That means 4-5M people dead in a few months under such policies. So they got scared and did "lockdowns" (really nothing of the sort was ever done in the US, only "mockdowns", but it was advertised as such).

6) From then on the choices were either to finally follow proper protocol and lock down hard until elimination, which is what they did in China, or abandon it prematurely and then gaslight the public into believing that the virus is no big deal (yeah, a virus that reinfects every couple years and leaves people with serious internal organ damage every time is no big deal; sure). They chose the latter because under neoliberalism it is impossible to have a sustained public health response -- it would have meant paying people to stay home for half a year, canceling or at least freezing various debt obligations, giving people free healthcare, etc.

Even as a one-time measure that was unacceptable -- it sets a very dangerous precedent (e.g. if people are given a taste of free healthcare, they might demand it permanently).

Some countries did the right thing, but the one that matters the most -- the US -- refused to do it because of its utter internal dysfunction, and it forced endemic COVID onto the rest of the world (good luck banning travel from the US to your country if you are a US colony ruled directly from the local US embassy).

7) Vaccines were pushed as the only solution (even though everyone knowledgeable about the situation knew they will fail -- and not because they are dangerous, but because coronaviruses had defeated all previous vaccine development efforts and there was no reason to think it would be different this time) in order to take quarantine, testing and tracing off the list of measures to apply.

8) Then eventually they officially turned around and started openly promoting uncontrolled infection, which is what they wanted to do from the start. Again, go back to the first three months of 2020 and look at their statements. Boris Johnson was openly talking about "taking it on the chin", and upholding Britain's place as the bastion of free-market virtues that will never bow down to public heath tyranny in the first weeks of February 2020. Does that look like someone who planned to keep everyone locked down forever? What kind of direction did subsequent policy take?

By promoting such nonsense, you are working for the mass murdering psychopaths who caused all this needless suffering. Some 25M people have died worldwide (the real, not the official count), and it is only starting from here.

It is a giant defeat for the ordinary man, who enjoyed an uninterrupted upwards trajectory in his overall health and life expectancy from the late 19th to the early 21st century. Which has now ended for good.

And the next time a new pathogen emerges, it will be just encouraged to spread by default, no matter the consequences. The precedent has been established. And emerge it will.

If there is a conspiracy theory here, it is that "they" might have seen in COVID a good way to reduce life expectancy and solve the entitlement problem that way. Which is an absolutely monstrous thing to do, and there should be a revolution with guillotines and heads rolling in roadside ditches if people actually understood what happened. But they don't. And you are helping to steer them away from that understanding...

I heard a pretty good explanation about how Covid broke people's brains. It went a bit like this:

If you measure anxiety on a scale of 1-10, you and I may walk around on any given day with a base level of 1-3 or so, and when Covid hit, we may have had moments when we went to 5 or 6, but then came back down to our usual level and were able to think straight

However, there are a lot of people out there who's baseline is high, who are anxious by default, and who barely keep it together on a good day - the 6's and 7's -and when covid came they went to 10+ and never came back

I accept this explanation. Lot of people have high trait neuroticism and covid put them over the edge and they will never come back. You see them now mainly at airports - and you can really tell; the weirdos wearing N95's but under their noses, who only put their masks on AFTER security, who put their masks on only when the plane is in the air (but not on the ground), who still mask their kids. Overwhelmingly these are younger people. I am speaking from 1st hand experience now. The contrast could not be more stark on Sunday when I flew out of Barcelona and was waiting in the lounge - an elderly British couple, clearly at least in their 70's, having a beer, smiling, chatting, making conversation with me and others, and this odd German couple, maybe in their 30's, FFP2 masks glued to their faces, eyes darting around, that vague look of panic... hard to explain.

I am in general agreement with Eugyppius, that we are more victims of human cowardice, stupidity, and banality than some super genius evil masterminds bent on taking over the world.

"We can only watch and wait, with the hope that some coming oblique global geopolitical event will scatter the pieces on the chessboard, derailing the control mechanisms of the elites, or giving us a chance at a true ‘reset’"

I think this is the only situation that will break this cycle. Though China has its own foggy totalitarian schemes for its people, Orthodox Russia and the rest of the non-aligned are practical societies and not worshipping satanists like the combined West. They're not going to go along with the globalist BS. It will be an entirely different world order than the one that WEF wants. Much of the insanity we are currently experiencing will float away as our societies self- destruct. TPTB are still going to double down and create more misery during this process, but it will be transitory.

At least that's where I'm placing my bets and resting my weary head. I'm off the worry train and it feels great.

Hi Simplicius! o/ I'm a long-time reader (from post #1), but only now did I subscribe monetarily. You deserve the money.

Your post is cute but you - just like everybody else - allowed *one* extremely important thing to get memory-holed. The "Infodemic". Remember? February 2020? The awesome onslaught of Expertdom convincing everyone that COVID-19 is a mild and harmless disease that nobody has anything to worry about? You forgot that? Am I the only one who remembers? The absolutely incessant parroting of low CFR (case fatality rate) at a time that number would have been vastly underrepresenting the actual lethality of COVID? :)

And then March or April 2020 came about and the story flipped. Whereas just two months prior Experts were telling people the disease is harmless, now they were telling people the disease is deadly. Everybody seems to have forgotten this flip. Apparently I'm the only keeper of this knowledge in the entire world. :)

Second thing: there are actually many vaccines against COVID-19 and many (most by doses?) have nothing to do with mRNA. Those other vaccines - like the Sinopharm vaccine I got - have vastly different profiles compared to the Western mRNA products. In particular, the Sinopharm vaccine is an old-fashioned inactivated-virus vaccine. You grow a virus (on cultured money kidney cells), **YOU ISOLATE THE VIRUS**, you kill the virus (probably with detergent) and then you inject the concoction into people. This is a well-tested, proven technology that has been in use for a century. Inactivated-virus vaccines have saved more people than can be counted. Inactivated-virus vaccines, while they have lower effectiveness compared to mRNA vaccines, also have vastly less side effects. Vaccine injury is much, much rarer.

Now, since I actually have a biomedical background I can even speculate on the cause of this difference between inactivated-virus vaccines and mRNA vaccines. I suspect the difference comes from the way mRNA vaccines are optimized. The actual human antibodies only react to a tiny part of viral protein, so the mRNA can (and presumably is) made to be tiny and reproduce only a part of viral protein. I base this on occational talk about vaccinal epitopes and new variants' ability to "bypass immunity". An epitope is that tiny part of the protein that antibodies target. And if vaccines "carry epitopes", then the rational explanation is that vaccines only carry mRNA for a part of the protein. So now the question is which part of the protein to select for inclusion. Well, I propose the Western vaccine makers decided to try different parts of the protein and selected those parts that produce the most violent in-vitro response. You have to have violent response because **there is no immunity without inflammation**. Every vaccine, every, always causes inflammation because the body won't generate antibodies otherwise. They even intentionally add inflammatory agents into the vaccine to make sure there is enough inflammation to produce immunity. Well, in the case of designing mRNA vaccines, their rationale must have been to maximize the conferred immunity, which in turn required strong inflammation, which was tied with selecting the most inflammatory epitopes. However this backfired because - I speculate - the same parts of the viral protein that produce the strongest immunity ALSO produce the most sideeffects. I speculate this is what happened with mRNA vaccines and this is the reason they have similar or even worse adverse effects in young patients than COVID-19 has in young patients. Because older patients aren't as much at risk of this kind of sequellae from vaccines or COVID-19.

And finally: the pandemic isn't over yet. ;) People are still dying from COVID-19, and it's still spreading around. ;) Just because USA called off the epidemic because they'll otherwise go bankrupt doesn't yet mean the epidemic ceased to exist. ;)

Let me add a small footnote to the 'Operation Dark Winter' you referred to. In that same year, in February 2001, the Uk 'experienced' an outbreak of 'foot-and-mouth disease which led to the mass culling of cattle and flocks of sheep, even those who were semi-feral. The countryside, from farms to whole areas criss-crossed by right-of-way footpaths beloved by British ramblers, was closed, access forbidden.

There were huge fires across the country where the culled corpses were burned. I cannot begin to describe the smell, and the utterly depressing effect of driving along pastures without the customary flocks of ewes with their newborn lambs. The desolation is beyond words.

However- this 'event' allowed the then PM, a certain Tony Blair, to postpone his GE for another years, which he won because a year later, all this had conveniently been memory-holed. Is it too far-fetched to wonder if this event and the government 'experiences', had played a role in 'Operation Dark Winter'? If it even had influenced the lockdowns imposed on the people?

I am just not sure. I had fallen into a rabbit hole with the SMO in Ukraine, when I could not find any critique of what the West was doing....but I am not sure how far I can travel. Ok, your argument sounds plausible. The similar argument was proposed by Fabio Vighi in Aug 2021:

Excellent article. If anyone wishes to delve further into the chronology of banking, finance and regulation of the Covid Bailout, I recommend Fabio Vighi who details and explains the mechanics of the 'how' and by 'whom'.

allow me to simplify your essay which i by the way find truthful and useful.

the essence of what we see today in various western government machinations is about 2 things.

1. staggering amounts of now unpayable national debt no longer able to even be serviced

2. the historic unwillingness by those in power to give up even a milligram of power and control even though their policies have crashed the system they run

ALL their solutions are about finding the money or resetting the board which allows those who fucked up the current system to remain in control of what follows. what these elites may not have figured this is .... there are no millions of people under their control who will not life a finger THIS time to help them out when things south and many will even actively work against them

EVERYTHING else, every policy, plan, event is predicated on points 1 and 2 OR as george carlin more eloquently said long ago................it's a club and you ain't in it................. and thens of millions of people now know this to be true

Excellent analysis. I certainly agree that the timing of the release of the virus and the subsequent scamdemic measures was motivated by the imperative to provide cover for the financial unraveling, and to put into place some of the mechanisms necessary to install CBDCs at the heart of the new planned social operating system.

Whether they will be successful with this is another question. There are many people raising the alarm about CBDCs; when they're rolled out, I suspect there will be stiff opposition and a concerted, distributed push to provide alternatives. While many people were sucked much deeper into the hypnotic trance of NPCdom over the last few years, many others were shocked into a new alertness, and now see this pathocratic structure for what it is. Every time the WEF types make a move, a few more people get shaken awake, creating a ratchet effect.

Then there's the ongoing, rapid collapse of the American empire, which I don't think was planned. Their financial controls are diminishing at the exact time they need them the most. So they're racing against the decline of their geopolitical power base, and against the great human awakening ... They must move rapidly, but the faster and more boldly they move, the more opposition they generate....

The info on the US strategy of setting up bio-labs in or close to their enemies is detailed and persuasive. However, the problem with this grand theory integrating COVID, money printing, election theft, etc is that one needs to assume a VERY smart, intelligent person or small cabal at the head, directing this, making it happen. It strains credulity that one person could be so smart AND have so much power. I have found this maxim to be universally true: Never attribute to malice that which can be explained by stupidity. In this case the stupidity of the crowds. Can you name even one person (or their job title, eg CEO of Pfizer) who might belong to the secret cabal that orchestrates this whole series of events?

Consider evolution and the parable of the blind watchmaker. When people look at a complex piece of machinery such as a watch, they naturally assume that it had a maker, an intelligent mind which designed and made it. Then they look at the human eye, and note how complex and wonderfully designed the eye is. They jump to the same conclusion. There must be a designer, a maker who creates human beings and every other living thing according to a grand design. i.e. a God. We now know beyond doubt that all living beings have evolved to their present state of complexity by nothing more than a random series of adaptations to the environment. Although hard to accept it, I would place more weight on the theory of a random series of events rather than an intelligent mind/cabal orchestrating everything. At a micro, human level, one person taking some action seems purposeful, but looking at the body of humanity on earth from a high level macro organism point of view, each person's action is just a random event. Random events are given a push here and there by evil people to further their own short-term ends. This is easier to believe than the overarching superior intelligence of the dark forces.

I’m gonna wax bold to say there is enough to create a critical mass strong enough to upend the matrices of control.

If not enough to entirely destroy certainly enough to cripple it.

What is need is a rallying call that clearly unites and identifies the movement also needed a way to communicate and connect it.

Powerful leaders and a well defined plan is all that is lacking.

There are millions who are ready many of which aren’t aware they are.
