Multiple reliable sources report that the COVID-19 outbreak has peaked and is quickly bottoming out in China, the epicenter of the “pandemic”. Number of new cases there has dropped like a rock, but is the mainstream media reporting that? Of course not. NEWS THAT COVID-19 HAS PROVEN ITSELF TO BE VERY SELF-LIMITING, APPARENTLY NOT IMPORTANT ENOUGH TO REPORT!
In the US and Europe, mortality rates have been greatly misrepresented/exaggerated, by counting only the cases serious enough to seek medical attention, and ignoring all the mild and asymptomatic ones. In data analysis we call it “skew”. Numbers don’t lie, but statisticians do!
When properly counted, COVID-19 is nowhere near as deadly as the annual flu, yet they’ve put enough spin on it to make most people lose their minds! Fear and panic are the cause of this crisis, the virus has little to do with it, in all truth. Without all the fear they’d never get away with shutting down the country. It. Is. All. Contrived.
Why, you ask? Seems to me the COVID-19 debacle isn’t strictly about any one thing, but it’s being leveraged in sooooo many ways, there’s no way they’re going to let it go any time soon. Vaccine mandates, 5G roll-out, gun control, the further destruction of Iran, Venezuela, Syria and any other nervy little nation state that has dared to blaspheme the petrodollar…
It also seems inescapable to me that destruction of the economy was part of the intent, exactly why I’m uncertain… It’s well understood that a market correction was inevitable, the virus is now the scapegoat? I guess I’m not that uncertain, but even I hate to think the motivation was so shallow.
Regardless of why, this needless shutdown is killing all but the strongest small businesses, and will precipitate yet another huge property grab — banks are still sitting on foreclosures from 2008, and will have a whole lot more very shortly.
Most of those that are not bankrupted and/or stripped of their equity when this subsides will be saddled with crushing debt, past-due payments, late fees, collections, NSF checks — running out of money is very expensive. And lowered credit scores make many things more expensive for years to come.
Even the smaller players on the stock market, anyone that held anything substantial on margin is already screwed, many portfolios have already been wiped out, I don’t need to see it in print to know for a fact it’s true, that’s just how it works. Only the wealthiest investors have the funds to ride-out a crash, they will buy up everything that has tanked, everything the little guys lost their asses on, and they’ll make a killing when it’s all over.
And sadly, people on fixed incomes who were indirectly playing the market with retirement funds, my mom tells me the corporation that “manages” her retirement fund has lost a great deal, and the loss will impact her monthly benefit. What was paid in over decades, inconsequential. I guarantee you there will be some that lose their retirement completely. All a predictable consequence of shutting down the country. Tell me that isn’t some fucked-up bullshit!
Extraction of wealth from the working class has been accelerated exponentially, via pure fear porn.
To be clear, on the off-chance anyone reads this far, the economic crisis is very real, but the reason it is purposefully being imposed, i.e., the “pandemic” crisis, is bullshit.
People who are panic-buying are the dumbest sheep ever, empty store shelves make the crisis look very real, they make it self-fulfilling. You played right into their hands. WTG.
And I hope nobody on my friends list has been trying to profiteer on all this, buying-up necessities and trying to gouge others selling them back… if you have please just quietly remove yourself, and hang your head in shame, I don’t even want to know, my faith in human nature is already low enough.
