He wants the U.S. to stay locked down until there are “no new cases” of COVID-19. The setting of an unattainable goal is an old trick that governments use in order to continue whatever policy it is that they are currently benefiting from.
The global death toll of the phantom illness currently sits at 41,000. Taking into account the fact that it has been spreading like wildfire throughout the world, why isn’t the death toll orders of magnitude higher? We’ve been treated to apocalypticism for weeks now, but the apocalypse itself has failed to arrive. Instead, world governments have preempted a virus apocalypse by engineering an economic apocalypse, something far deadlier and destructive than any virus could cause. Once the hysteria subsides, and the propaganda fails to take, we’ll realize that we’ve just lived through one of the greatest mass panics in world history. A baseless panic that caused almost total economic collapse, and inflicting devastation upon millions of the world’s poorest. One task must be seen to the end, though: we must not allow the Political Class write the history of the Mass Panic of 2020. This event will feature prominently in history books for centuries to come; the truth, not the propaganda, must survive.
Congressman Thomas Massie, March 29th, 2020:
“The stimulus package that just passed is the biggest wealth transfer from common folks to the super-rich (Wall Street and bankers) in the history of mankind. Done in the name of a virus with $1200 checks as the cheese in the trap. This will be obvious in short order.”
While the middle and lower classes of the West slowly submerge in an economic quicksand entirely the creation of the upper classes for whom “lock-down” has little to no meaning, the super-rich are busy hatching plans for a complete overhaul of the political/medical/regulatory landscape once the outbreak of panic subsides. Bill Gates is just such a person, and has not coincidentally featured prominently in the current COVID-19 manufactured panic. His particular obsession has been vaccines, specifically a global vaccine program. He also has a desire to force everyone to accept a vaccine “tattoo” that would be used as proof of vaccination. During the present crisis, Gates has not missed an opportunity to promote another pet project: a national tracking system of infected persons.
He of course doesn’t take into account the tidal wave of unemployment that will result, and the many thousands of “deaths of despair” that will ensue. He’s obsessed with infectious disease prevention, and like any person so obsessed, he’s willing to sacrifice anything to satisfy it. The present pandemic provides the perfect environment for Gates to realize his dream of a global vaccination program tied to a global digital ID. That’s where ID2020 comes in, the digital biometric ID that contains an individual’s most personal information.
This probably isn’t about money for Gates, whose fortune exceeds $90 billion. It is of course an obsession, an ideological infatuation that he clings to. What drives it? I imagine that what the person for whom money is no object really wants is to be liked. Gates wants to be liked by the global network of elite parasites that attach themselves to his wealth, he needs their approval, praise, worship. He probably wants to be immortalized as some significant historical figure, and the realization of some bizarre, idiosyncratic, yet always authoritarian, goal, he feels would ensure his place.

“When the age of Miracles lay faded into the distance as an incredible tradition, and even the age of Conventionalities was now old; and Man’s Existence had for long generations rested on mere formulas which were grown hollow by course of time; and it seemed as if no Reality any longer existed but only Phantasms of realities, and God’s Universe were the work of the Tailor and Upholsterer mainly, and men were buckram masks that went about becking and grimacing there,–on a sudden, the Earth yawns asunder, and amid Tartarean smoke, and glare of fierce brightness, rises Sansculottism, many-headed, fire-breathing, and asks: What think ye of me?” -Thomas Carlyle, The French Revolution
Mindless insanity. And these are the people closing our businesses, handing over $4 trillion to the corporate elite, and adorning themselves with authoritarian power?
Unbelievable: “Rhode Island police began stopping cars with New York plates Friday. On Saturday, the National Guard will help them conduct house-to-house searches to find people who traveled from New York and demand 14 days of self-quarantine.”
Just a thought. But these deaths are never reported on the national news, therefore few care and no one panics.
