Over 40 Years Ago, John Todd Warned About An 8-Step Plan to Take Over the World
I have not seen one thing fail or be delayed on that time chart, he said. But “I’m not saying that it won’t be delayed.”
What he exposed of the chart during this testimony may have relevance today. He described how their plan for a world takeover involved shutting off electricity, destroying stored food, farmers’ strikes, rail strikes, miners’ strikes and engineers’ strikes. “Everything will be paralysed, nothing will move … If you live in a large city, how are you going to get your food if they don’t bring it to you?” he asked.
“They are in the process of a trial-and-error right now, and they test things. This year they are going to see if they can’t starve you, absolutely shut all electricity off in the East Coast. Now the timetable in the book Atlas Shrugged ended with this: ‘When the lights of New York City go out for the last time, we will have the World!’.”...<<<Read More>>>...

The decades-long “climate change” plan to strip away personal freedom, wealth and property
Smith describes how the Rockefeller family and the Trilateral Commission have been instrumental in advancing a new international economic order and global governance, aiming to establish a technocratic dictatorship.
They co-opted the environmental movement, using fear and misinformation to shift the blame for ecological damage from corporations to individuals, and promoting the concept of Sustainable Development as a means to control resources and populations.
The Rockefeller family has created and funded various organisations, including The World Bank, the United Nations and the Club of Rome, to promote the theory of anthropogenic global warming and push for a sustainable future.
The United Nations’ Agenda 21 and Agenda 2030 are key plans to implement a technocratic system, to inventory and control all aspects of human life and nature, ultimately leading to the annihilation of individual rights and national sovereignty.
The ultimate goal of the “green economy” is not environmental protection, but a wealth redistribution scheme that benefits multinational corporations and private banks, while stripping away individual freedom, wealth and property....<<<Read More>>>...

Operation Lockstep: Is Phase Three Being Put In Motion?
A document published by the Rockefeller Foundation in 2010, titled “Scenarios for the Future of Technology and International Development.”, described the possible ramifications of a Pandemic.
The “Lock Step”
scenario imagined a world where national governments imposed strict
top-down control and authority in response to a global pandemic, with
citizens complying with government restrictions.
The “Lock Step”
section detailed how countries might react to a global crisis, such as a
pandemic, with varying degrees of government control. It discussed how
more authoritarian governments might succeed in containing the virus by
enforcing strict lockdowns, surveillance, and control measures, while
other countries with less centralized control might struggle to manage.
Covid-19
was used as a Catalyst for Authoritarian Control. The scenario in this
booklet stated that during a pandemic, some governments could impose
strict regulations and lockdowns, requiring citizens to comply without
question. This centralized control would be successful in containing the
pandemic. Over time, these control measures would become permanent,
leading to increased government surveillance, biometric IDs, and
restrictions on freedoms, even after the pandemic ended. This scenario
also emphasized that the public would largely comply with these
restrictions, following all orders given, viewing them as necessary to
protect public health and safety.
This “Lock Step” scenario was
used as a forebearer of a planned agenda for a future authoritarian
world government. Also pushed by WEF and the puppets that had been
placed in different government departments across the world, used under
the guise of a reset, as a way to test people’s breaking point.
There
are considered 3 phases that governments would use during the pandemic
to roll out increasing levels of authoritarianism. They look something
like this:
Phase One: The outbreak of a virus and the initial
government responses, such as lockdowns, travel restrictions, and social
distancing measures, often referred to as a “trial run” to test public
compliance.
Phase Two: Escalation of fear through media
coverage, leading to increased government control measures, such as
extended lockdowns, mandatory vaccinations, and the restriction of civil
liberties.
Phase Three: This phase would involve a more
permanent state of control, where extreme government measures (such as
police and military enforcement, forced vaccinations, and digital IDs)
would become the norm. In this phase, there is a high level of poverty
and a chance of economic collapse, food shortages, and further erosion
of people’s freedoms, leading to a more authoritarian,
surveillance-heavy world. The WEF has been very brazen about this phase,
using the pandemic opportunity to supercharge their agenda, stating
that the control of people’s liberties is a positive step for us all....<<<Read More>>>...

Pfizer CEO says COVID was just a test… “a rehearsal” for something bigger yet to come
“I truly think the best days of Pfizer are ahead of us because Covid was, for me, like a rehearsal, prove generali, how you can mobilize an organization and do the impossible, possible, against a main disease,” Bourla said.
It’s a pretty ominous statement when you think about it considering that when we look back, we can often find instances where someone warned us, either directly or in a more subtle way, that something bad was brewing but no one heeded the warning.
For example, Alex Jones pointed out that he cautioned something like the COVID-19 pandemic would happen way back in 2010. He said this wasn’t just some random prediction that panned out; he read the Rockefeller Foundation Operation Lock Step, which specifically described using a virus to bring in a world government and exert control over people with mandatory quarantines, masking, checkpoints and other violations of personal freedom.
Like some of his other predictions that have come to fruition, he said that there are often lots of warnings, but people aren’t paying attention.
“Once you have enough technological development, enough science, anything we can imagine, we can do,” Jones said.
Therefore, it won’t be a surprise if COVID-19 does indeed prove to be just a dress rehearsal for the real catastrophe; as Jones said, “The big stuff’s coming.” ...<<<Read More>>>...

Four Years Ago this Month a Lockdown was Imposed by National Governments Worldwide – Never Forget What They are Capable Of.
What does this imply. The most serious economic and social crisis in World history which four years later is still ongoing, leading to economic chaos and mass poverty Worldwide. Destabilizing the social, political and economic structure of 190 sovereign countries cannot constitute a “solution” to combating the virus.
But that was the imposed “solution” which was implemented in several stages from the very outset of the corona crisis in January 2020. It’s the destruction of people’s lives. It is the destabilization of civil society. Fake science was supportive of this devastating agenda. The lies were sustained by a massive media disinformation campaign. 24/7, Incessant and Repetitive “Covid alerts” in the course of the last four years.
The historic March 11, 2020 lockdown triggered economic and social chaos Worldwide. It was an act of “economic warfare”: a war against humanity.
This diabolical agenda has undermined the sovereignty of nation states.
It has contributed to a wave of bankruptcies. It has impoverished people Worldwide.
It has led to a spiralling dollar denominated global debt.
The powerful structures of global capitalism, Big Money coupled with its intelligence and military apparatus were the driving force.
Using advanced digital and communications technologies, the lockdown and “closure” of the global economy is unprecedented in RECENT World history...<<<Read More>>>...

“Lockdowns” didn’t work and they were catastrophic
These unparalleled public health actions were enacted for a virus with an infection mortality rate (“IFR”) roughly similar – or likely lower once all infection data are collected – to seasonal influenza.
Countries and territories around the world enforced lockdowns of varying stringency in response to covid. Beginning with the first lockdown in China’s Hubei province and nationwide in Italy in March 2020, lockdowns continued to be implemented in many countries throughout 2020 and 2021.
Schools, universities and colleges closed either on a nationwide or local basis in 63 countries, affecting approximately 47 per cent of the world’s student population. The city of Toronto, Ontario is considered to have the longest continuous covid lockdown of any major city in the world.
In May 2023, the USA finally lifted the last of the restrictions on travel, allowing unvaccinated passengers to enter the country, and China, who had instigated the draconian unscientific measures, still prohibited its citizens from travelling abroad and the country was still largely closed off to tourists and other foreign visitors. Brazil also had some restrictions still in place and a handful of other countries still had some rules in place....<<<Read More>>>...

WHO could gain powers to impose lockdown on UK
WE DO NOT CONSENT !!!!!!!
Your fear narratives are just that. Narratives of a dark wish fulfillment you evil ones desire.
++++++++++++++++++++
Lockdown measures could be imposed on the UK by the World Health Organisation (WHO) during a future pandemic under sweeping new powers, ministers fear.
Member states would be obliged to follow the agency’s instructions when responding to pandemics, including by introducing vaccine passports, border closures and quarantine measures, under a draft update to its regulations.
A new “pandemic treaty” under discussion would also force Britain to spend five per cent of its health budget on preparing for another virus outbreak.
Ministers are understood to be alarmed by plans to increase the WHO’s powers enabling its governing body to require countries to hand over the recipe of vaccines, regardless of intellectual property rights, and to counter misinformation.
Conservative MPs have written to ministers to warn of an “ambition
evident…for the WHO to transition from an advisory organisation to a
controlling international authority”....<<<Read More>>>....

Because of propaganda churned out by corporate media some people still live in fear of “the virus”
On Sunday, Yahoo News published an article about covid vaccine mandates being still in place in healthcare settings. Citing the example of a nursing home in Missouri, the article describes the daily testing for covid that healthcare workers continue to endure. The article goes on to state that “only the healthy are allowed in to care for virus-free residents.”
So, what does “healthy” mean? A negative covid test? A test which has been widely recognised for not being able to detect infection or diagnose illness. What if a person tests negative for covid but has another infection or illness? Is that person “healthy”? It sounds less like a health measure and more like obedience training.
As The Awake Epidemiologist points out, the continuing covid mandates in healthcare settings are a reminder of what happened in universities and colleges regarding “vaccine” mandates and exemptions last year.
One of the most nonsensical aspects of continuing covid “vaccine” mandates in American universities and colleges in 2022 was that students, faculty and staff who survived the mandates the year before – that is, were fortunate enough to be granted religious and/or medical exemptions – had to reapply for an exemption in 2022. There is no rational explanation for why an exemption would expire.
The requirement to renew exemptions was therefore more likely to be an exercise in obedience or perhaps to wear down the morale of the individual....<<<Read More>>>...

Lockdown Wasn’t Imposed to Protect the World from a New Virus but Because the Real Economy Had to Be Shut Down
In June 2019, the Bank for International Settlements (BIS), the world’s central bank, published its Annual Economic Report. This began with the statement: ‘It was perhaps too good to be true’ — the ‘it’ being the recovery from the 2007-2009 Global Financial Crisis. Describing financial markets as ‘jittery’, the report warned investors about the social and political backlash against what it called the ‘open international economic order’, which the BIS predicted would continue to cast a ‘long if unpredictable shadow’ over the global economy:
From a historical perspective, it is not unusual to see such surges of sentiment in the wake of major economic shockwaves: the Great Depression marked the end of the previous globalisation era. It is too early to tell how this surge will evolve; but it will clearly be a force to contend with in the years to come.
What the BIS was describing here are not only the classic symptoms of a financial crisis produced by the internal contradictions of capitalist accumulation — according to which, as the wages of workers are deflated so too is the purchasing power of consumers, threatening the profits of capitalists and resulting in an inflated credit bubble — but also the threat of the social unrest they cause in the body politic. As the bank of highest appeal on monetary policy, the BIS is more than aware of the threat this presents to the global financial system. The following month, accordingly, in July 2019, the BIS called for ‘unconventional policy’ in order to ‘insulate the real economy’ from further deterioration in conditions, specifically advocating that, by offering direct credit to the economy, central banks could ‘replace commercial banks in providing loans’.
By August 2019, the global debt-to-Gross Domestic Product ratio had risen to an all-time high of 322 per cent, with total debt reaching close to $253 trillion. Germany, Italy and Japan were on the verge of a recession, and the economies of the UK and China were contracting. That same month, BlackRock, the largest investment fund in the world with $6.5 trillion in assets under management at the time (and since then risen to $10 trillion), published a white paper titled ‘Dealing with the next downturn’. This instructed the Federal Reserve, the central banking system of the USA, to inject liquidity directly into the financial system, in order to prevent a dramatic downturn in the economy it predicted would be even worse than that of the Global Financial Crisis of 2007-2009.
BlackRock argued that, since monetary policy (interest rates on loans and the amount of money in circulation) was exhausted, and fiscal policy (government taxation and spending) would not be sufficient to reverse such a crisis, what was needed was an ‘unprecedented response’. It therefore recommended ‘going direct’. This meant ‘finding ways to get central bank money directly into the hands of public and private-sector spenders’ while avoiding hyperinflation. Significantly, as an example of the dangers of the latter, BlackRock cited the Weimar Republic in the early 1920s, at precisely the time when fascism took root in both Germany and Italy. Later that month, in August 2019, central bankers from the G7 nations (the USA, the UK, Germany, France, Italy, Japan and Canada) met to discuss and approve BlackRock’s ‘unconventional’ proposals....<<<Read More>>>....

The Confinement of the Healthy
From the lepers in the Old Testament to the plague of Justinian in Ancient Rome to the 1918 Spanish flu pandemic, lockdowns were never part of conventional public health measures. The concept of lockdowns arose in part from a public health apparatus that had become militarized over the previous two decades. We now routinely hear of “countermeasures,” but doctors and nurses never use that word, which is a term of spycraft and soldiering.
In 1968, while an estimated one to four million people died in the H3N2 influenza pandemic, businesses and schools stayed open and large events were never cancelled. Until 2020 we had not previously locked down entire populations, because that strategy does not work. In 2020 we had zero empirical evidence that lockdowns would save lives, only flawed mathematical models whose predications were not just slightly off, but wildly exaggerated by orders of magnitude....<<<Read More>>>...

Assimilate & Destroy: The Rockefeller Foundation’s Role in Exploiting Then Suppressing Natural Medicine
In 1864, he founded the grain and produce company, Clark, Rockefeller, & Co., with business partner, Maurice Clark (1827-1901). The company profited from the American Civil War (1861-65) and Rockefeller used his money to establish the company that made him his fortune: Standard Oil of California. With notions of the Protestant work ethic and Christian charity, Rockefeller and his employees attempted to craft an image of the family dynasty as philanthropic.
Rockefeller’s various institutes and foundations spawned other entities, including the University of Chicago, the General Education Board, and the eponymous Institute for Medical Research. But diary entries, papers, letters, and memos from the time confirm that the motive was primarily to make the public healthier and more educated in order to get them to work for the businesses in which Rockefeller had invested. By the mid-20th century, it was clear that “philanthropy” was also a massive, legal tax dodge.
Rockefeller’s
profit-making agenda included the promotion of so-called “scientific
medicine,” which has now become the norm. Although Rockefeller
personally championed natural remedies, including homeopathy, publicly
he funded allopathic medicine and was a major cog in the machine that
brought America’s medical practices up to Europe’s technological
standards. But institutions, be they religious, corporate, or national,
are not self-containing. They expand. Rockefeller’s philanthropy was de facto colonialism
in countries including China and the Philippines, where the offshoots
of his Foundation trained indigenous elites to use Western “scientific
medicines” and lessen their traditional, natural cures....<<<Read More>>>...

Hapless Trump’s ultra-Zionist son-in-law Kushner and his central role in the US lockdown
Incredibly, the United States was set to try it out too but getting Trump on board was going to take some doing. The federal government had the quarantine power since 1944. That much we knew. But just how expansive could its exercise be? Would they dare quarantine the well with the sick? How far would this go?
Thanks to several journalistic accounts, we have a better idea of what went on in the White House before the dreadful March 16, 2020, press conference of Donald Trump, Anthony Fauci, and Deborah Birx in which the lockdowns were announced. Along with that came a flier with tiny print about which the ever-trusting Trump apparently knew nothing: “bars, restaurants, food courts, gyms, and other indoor and outdoor venues where groups of people congregate should be closed.”
Read those words again. Has anything like this ever been issued by any government in the history of the world, before China did it? I cannot think of a case. It shuts not only the places where people do “congregate” but also everywhere where they might congregate. Churches. AA meetings. Civic clubs. Libraries. Museums. Homes! And this happened under Trump’s watch right here in the United States! There ought to be a word to describe something more extreme than totalitarian.
There were a number of people in Trump’s circle in those days who proved panicked and confused enough to embrace the idea. But who precisely wrote those words in the sheet handed out to reporters?
We cannot say for sure but Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner played an
important role. He had enlisted two close friends from college to help:
Nat Turner and Adam Boehler. Both were graduates from the Wharton
School, like Trump. Jared somehow believed that they knew something
about pandemics because they worked in health-care delivery. So, he
called them....<<<Read More>>>...

China’s Endless COVID Hysteria Is A Dark Social Engineering Experiment
Growing opposition to meaningless covid lockdowns and the vaccine passports was a mainstay in the US that made government enforcement impossible. Joe Biden’s attempt to introduce federal vax passport rules for businesses failed miserably, red states defied the lockdowns within a few months of the start of the pandemic and the states that kept restrictions in place had HIGHER rates of infection while their economies sank. When it became clear to the establishment that millions of Americans were not going to comply, they had to back off.
Even blue states and cities have been forced to acknowledge that the farce is over; Los Angeles County tried to reintroduce mask mandates recently and the measure collapsed in failure as many municipalities said they planned to ignore any new ordnance. Covid’s median Infection Fatality Rate of 0.23% was not enough of a threat to convince the public to abandon their constitutional rights.
Without the millions of courageous people that refused to comply our country might look very different today. The CCP has faced little public opposition over their draconian covid rules, and when they do, they don’t worry much because the population is completely disarmed. This has resulted in a veritable nightmare world for the citizenry. In fact, it almost seems like an experiment to find out how much psychological torture and oppression human beings are willing to endure.
Mandate cheerleaders boasted endlessly about how China effectively
stopped the spread and was ready to reopen while the western world
floundered because we refused to submit and accept medical tyranny “for
the greater good.” Now these same people are silent as China goes though
an array of outbreaks and lockdowns that cycle perpetually. In the
meantime, most of the west has reopened and some places (like dozens of
conservative states) have been open well over two years. Remember when
leftists and foreign governments said we would be dying off in the
streets and ruing our decision to follow the science rather than the
hysteria? Yeah, the great cleansing of conservatives they were hoping
for never happened....<<<Read More>>>....

The Next Lockdown?
The first and the last images are now synonymous with previous questions. We see the vaccinated in the first image and their bluetooth detectable electrical impulses. We see also the image associated the structure created within their bodies by the Graphene Oxide,
The middle image is of Sojourn or 'break from the stress' meaning that the powers that be a lulling the vaccinated into an apparent sense of false security. It does appear like the so called current freedom is part of the mind control programming. It doesn't appear like it will last indefinitely,
Chaotic Change has been unleashed by the darker fate and it doesn't seem willing to relent from its push for a desired singularity outcome in 2030. The Persona of current normality is just that. A persona or false face.
Be prepared ... the government will likely do a u turn and impose a cruel lockdown between now and July 2022. It seems inevitable and part of their sick plan. Will it be like Shanghai? That is the next question to ask.

Prominent Lockdown Advocate Admits He Got it Wrong
So, there you have it. We warned you.
Professor Mark Woolhouse is a member of SPI-M, SAGE’s modelling group, which advises the British government on lockdown measures.
SAGE has a reputation for forecasting apocalyptic COVID scenarios that never come close to materialising, such as last year’s prediction that Omicron might cause 6,000 fatalities per day in the UK if more limits are not imposed.
Omicron caused nothing like the same number of fatalities as SAGE suggested earlier in the summer, despite the fact that far stricter restrictions were not applied.
Woolhouse expresses sorrow for SAGE’s role in advocating lockdown measures that caused massive havoc but only served to slow the spread of the epidemic in a new book titled The Year the World Went Mad.
Woolhouse said “We knew from February [2020], never mind March, that the lockdown would not solve the problem. It would simply delay it,” and went on to say that no one in government seemed to realise the strategy’s failure.
“The early global response to the pandemic was woefully inadequate,” Woolhouse argues, adding that the WHO’s praise for China’s draconian “zero COVID” strategy laid the stage for future calamities....<<<Read More>>>....

New Meta-Analysis Concludes Lockdowns “Have Had Little To No Effect On COVID Mortality”
A new meta-analysis regarding the effectiveness of lockdowns examined evidence to determine if there is actually any empirical evidence to support the belief that lockdowns reduce COVID-19 mortality.
The paper points out that researchers at the Imperial College London early on in the pandemic (Ferguson et al. (2020)) predicted that lockdown strategies would reduce COVID-19 mortality by up to 98%. This is what motivated the researchers to look into this deeper. Another big motivation was the fact that “there was no clear negative correlation between the degree of lockdown and fatalities in the spring of 2020.”
“Given the large effects predicted by simulation studies such as Ferguson et al. (2020), we would have expected to at least observe a simple negative correlation between COVID-19 mortality and the degree to which lockdowns were imposed.”
Overall, despite that the topic still seems to remain an open debate with no clear answers, this meta analysis found that lockdowns, school closures, border closures, and limiting gatherings have had and no effect on COVID-19 mortality. They did however find that business closures may have reduced COVID-19 mortality, “but the variation in estimates is large and the effect seems related to closing bars.” ...<<<Read More>>>...

How lockdown-loving lefties have turned my glorious New Zealand into a hermit kingdom: Families are forced to isolate for up to 24 days, borders are slammed shut for two years, and the streets are deserted, writes despairing Kiwi David Seymour
It was completely devoid of life.
That snapshot spoke a thousand words: as we surpass the two-year anniversary of the start of the Covid-19 pandemic, something close to normality has finally resumed for many across the globe.
But here in our far-flung corner of the Southern Hemisphere, isolated behind our still-sealed border, we endlessly push around a hamster wheel of ever more wearying rules and restrictions.
Among them is a staggering isolation
period of up to 24 days for those in households where someone has tested
positive, a mandatory cap of 100 vaccinated people at public events — a
devastating imposition on the entertainment industry in this, our peak
summer season — and compulsory mask wearing almost everywhere, including
for school pupils aged eight and up....<<<Read More>>>...

Aaron Russo Exposes the Global “Elite”, Central Banks, New World Order and Microchips
In 2006, the year before he died, Russo released his “Freedom to Fascism” documentary that connected the dots between the Federal Reserve, income tax, computer voting fraud, national identity card and erosion of civil liberties in America.
In an interview released in 2009 by Infowars, Russo revealed the Rockefeller plan for a cashless world wherein everyone is implanted with a chip in their hand. Russo was friends with the Rockefeller family at that time and was told this plan directly by Nick Rockefeller. So, this was not just a “conspiracy theory”.
Russo was told – prior to 9/11 – of plans to stage terror attacks, invade foreign nations, and kick-start a high-tech police state control grid that would track the populations’ every move with implantable radio-frequency identification (“RFID”) microchips.
He explains how the global “elite” created the women’s liberation movement to break up the family and tax working women. Russo breaks down the deception of democracy – which is nothing more than mob rule guaranteed to produce tyranny.
Russo also exposes the IRS and The Federal Reserve. He blasts the unconstitutional and predatory institutions that have crippled the American Republic and crushed the people with bogus taxes, inflation and loss of privacy. Russo explains that he himself was persecuted in the late 80s by a criminal ‘retroactive’ tax scheme that attempted to levy new taxes on years already passed....<<<Read More>>>....

Lockdowns: The Worst Public Health Catastrophe In Human History
The phrase seems to have been coined by Dr. Jay Bhattacharya, MD, PhD., a professor of both medicine and economics at Stanford University. He made this comment quite early on in the pandemic when lockdowns were imposed, and continues to stand by it as more evidence emerges regarding just how catastrophic lockdowns have been. In fact, he stated his position again in a recent tweet regarding a new study published in the journal Nature.
Multiple academics throughout the pandemic have shown how catastrophic lockdowns are and have been, but there wasn’t a peep from mainstream media. For the most part, mainstream media labelled those who oppose lockdowns as “anti-lockdown” instead of having an appropriate discussion regarding the evidence calling these measures into question....<<<Read More>>>...

More Than 400 Studies Show Lockdowns and Face Masks Don’t Work
The Brownstone Institute for Social and Economic Research is a non-profit organisation founded in May 2021. Its vision is of a society that places the highest value on the voluntary interaction of individuals and groups while minimising the use of violence and force including that which is exercised by public authority. The motive force of Brownstone Institute is the global crisis created by policy responses to the Covid-19 pandemic of 2020.
“The great body of evidence (comparative research studies and high-quality pieces of evidence and reporting judged to be relevant to this analysis) shows that Covid-19 lockdowns, shelter-in-place policies, masks, school closures, and mask mandates have failed in their purpose of curbing transmission or reducing deaths. These restrictive policies were ineffective and devastating failures, causing immense harm especially to the poorer and vulnerable within societies.,” the Brownstone Institute wrote.
“The benefits of the societal lockdowns and restrictions have been totally exaggerated and the harms to our societies and children have been severe: the harms to children, the undiagnosed illness that will result in excess mortality in years to come, depression, anxiety, suicidal ideation in our young people, drug overdoses and suicides due to the lockdown policies, the crushing isolation due to the lockdowns, psychological harms, domestic and child abuse, sexual abuse of children, loss of jobs and businesses and the devastating impact, and the massive numbers of deaths resulting from the lockdowns that will impact heavily on women and minorities.”
Taking a close look at the real evidence, the Brownstone Institute says it plainly: the Covid pandemic has been steered by politics. It’s evidence of “monumental failure of lockdown policy.”
“It was clear very early on that task forces and medical advisers and decision-makers were not reading the evidence, were not up to speed with the science or data, did not understand the evidence, did not ‘get’ the evidence, and were blinded to the science, often driven by their own prejudices, biases, arrogance, and ego. They remain ensconced in sheer academic sloppiness and laziness. It was clear that the response was not a public health one. It was a political one from Day 1 and continues today.”
Brownstone then lists a compilation of 404 studies, reports and discussions as evidence that Covid lockdowns, use of face masks, school closures, and mask mandates were largely ineffective and caused crushing harms: lockdowns (162); school closures (75); masks ineffectiveness (97); mask mandates (9); and, mask harms (61).
