“Those who are able to see beyond the shadows and lies of their culture will never be understood, let alone believed, by the masses.” - Plato
Seeking Truth in a World of Propaganda. Links do not necessarily indicate agreement with stories or perspectives.
Long term readers will recall the Philip Cross Affair. A Wikipedia Editor named “Philip Cross” was relentlessly conducting a propaganda operation. It had two prongs; the first was continually to denigrate the Wikipedia entry of all public figures who opposed military intervention in the Middle East, removing positive information and adding mainstream media slurs in real time as they were made. The second and less noted prong was to big up the Wikpedia entries of right wing mainstream media figures, removing negative information and adding a positive spin.
Wikipedia eventually banned “Philip Cross” from making edits related to UK political figures.
The incredible thing about “Philip Cross” was that he never took a single day off. From 29 August 2013 to 14 May 2018 “Philip Cross” edited Wikipedia every day, including Christmas days, for 1,721 days. I can claim to be the person who first brought the “Philip Cross” operation to a wide audience, and here are my series of articles on the subject:
If you are new to this, I really do commend that series as a fascinating glimpse into the information wars that lie behind what you read on the internet. The BBC World Service even made a radio programme about Philip Cross.
https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/w3csws6q
Being the BBC it downplays the affair in a number of ways – crucially, it gives several examples to show that Philip Cross’s edits are harmless, and not a single example of his thousands of vicious edits, such as his editing my Wikipedia entry to call my wife a stripper.
The BBC also disingenuously claim that the fact that Cross edited Paul Dacre’s entry shows he did not only edit anti-war figures. They fail to point out that that his edits to Paul Dacre were all designed to glorify Dacre, the Daily Mail’s editor until recently, whereas his edits of anti-war figures were designed to do the opposite.
But the BBC report does correctly state that the “Philip Cross operation” turns out to be an organised neo-con group operating behind the persona of Philip Cross, who is a real vulnerable person with health issues. George Galloway correctly says he was given information from a concerned close relative of Cross who believes he is being exploited. I can confirm that is true. I was also given the opportunity to meet the close relative but I declined as I saw no point in duplicating the effort and causing further stress.
Galloway believes this was a paid operation. It appeared to have very close links to the Times newspaper and to the Euston Manifesto group. James Harding, Times editor, had his page lovingly edited 118 times by the “Philip Cross” operation, largely to remove or rebut criticisms.
James Harding is of course currently editor of Tortoise magazine.
So who were the editors working behind the group name of “Philip Cross”?
For me, the most fascinating and insufficiently explored avenue of the Philip Cross affair was the question of his Twitter followers. “Philip Cross” had a twitter account which never did anything interesting. He simply retweeted articles by right wing journalists; that was the majority of his output. Very occasionally he would add a one line comment. There was nothing remotely original or interesting, even to a person who shared the right wing views of the “Philip Cross” persona, until the operation was exposed.
Yet this extremely dull twitter account by this obscure unwell man, which never tweeted anything original or witty, had among its 200 followers a collection of establishment figures and, most notably mainstream media journalists. Why on earth would Tristram Hunt and James le Mesurier of white helmet jihadis fame find it worthwhile to follow this obscure account? Above all, why did a whole slew of MSM “journalists” follow an account of no original interest at all?
There is no other possible conclusion than that these figures were aware of the “Philip Cross” operation when it was still apparently nothing but an extremely obscure man who liked obsessively editing Wikipedia and retweeting Nick Cohen and David Aaronovitch (his most frequent tweets). My intuition is – and this is not fact, but a working hypothesis that fits known facts to date – that the many MSM journalists who were, for no apparent reason, following the obscure “Philip Cross” twitter account, were not merely au fait with, but a part of, the Wikipedia editing operation that hid behind “Philip Cross” and his IP address.
So here are those MSM followers of the “Philip Cross” twitter account as noted by me on 21 May 2018. Note Dani Garavelli.
DANI GARAVELLI. I had quite forgotten until reminded by Leftworks. Once reminded, I recall that I was getting fed up typing up names and almost left her off as a nobody, writing for a publication nobody reads any more. I am glad I did not.
So why was Dani Garavelli one of “Philip Cross”‘s devoted Twitter followers from when the “Philip Cross” operation was still secret?
Garavelli was recently commissioned by James Harding (remember him above?) for Tortoise Magazine to write a hit piece with the aim of destroying Alex Salmond’s reputation by appealing to the #Metoo movement, evoking sympathy for the accusers and restating prosecution evidence while simply ignoring defence evidence.
Alex Salmond was of course an opponent of NATO bombing of Serbia and has been a staunch and outspoken opponent of UK military intervention in the Middle East. So who was editing negatively his Wikipedia profile? “Philip Cross” of course.
Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you the British Establishment. Like a circle within a circle, like a wheel within a wheel, a never ending propaganda operation to control the population.
Once Garavelli’s execrable article was published by Tortoise (interestingly for free access by a magazine whose business model allegedly rests on its fierce paywall), the propaganda deluge online to hype it from MSM journalists and from UK government trolls was immense. Interestingly there was a third element – a whole raft of young paid employees of the SNP and a slew of similar wannabe SNP careerists. A fascinating amount of entryist penetration of the SNP has been exposed in this process.
It became obvious the political destruction of Alex Salmond is a major objective of the UK state, worth the potential burning of hitherto hidden assets. I paid close attention because the same forces were leveled against me in a hate storm for pointing out the very obvious deficiencies in the Garavelli article, facilitating a very successful online pushback by ordinary folk. That will be a subject to discuss another day.

The post Information Wars appeared first on Craig Murray.
Here is one of the best investigative documentaries ever produced – as far as it goes. However, what it omits makes it one of the most dangerous as well. The praiseworthy part is that it reveals how the Chinese government secretly developed the corona virus in a bio-weapons laboratory in Wuhan, how the virus escaped into the population, and how the fish-market story was a crude cover up. The documentary’s analysis of China’s long-standing goal to destroy the US using non-military tactics also is on target. The problem arises when we realize there is no mention of the role played by forces inside the US. There is no mention of the CDC, the American based pharmaceutical industry, the Deep State, the US media, fake death statistics, deliberate destruction of the economy, or tycoon American billionaires such as Bill Gates who stand to profit beyond imagination.
This documentary becomes so focused on the threat of Chinese Communists and their operatives in the US that we forget about America’s own home-grown communists who go under the banner of Democrats, Republicans, Green Party, justice warriors, health officials, network news anchors, and all the obedient governors and mayors who eagerly use the exaggerated health threat to take away the last of constitutional liberties.
This is reminiscent of the Iran-Contra affair in the late 1980s when Lieutenant-Colonel Oliver North admitted he had lied to Congress under oath, participated in illegal arms sales to Iran, diverted proceeds of those sales to the Contra rebels in Nicaragua, and was secretly creating a massive database to spy on all Americans. In spite of all this, he became an American hero in the eyes of the public, because he said he did these things to protect America from the threat of Communism in South America. Americans were not concerned about North helping to create a totalitarian government above all rules so long as it is done in the name of fighting Communism or some other great enemy.
Not much has changed since then. The database that North helped to design now is a monstrous reality in the name of fighting terrorism. On December 5, 2017, it was announced that Oliver North and Blackwater founder Erik Prince had teamed up to help Donald Trump create a secret spy agency that reports just to the President. This was to help the President overcome opposition from the Deep State and from Communist China.
Bottom line: Watch this documentary for the truth about what is happening in China and the fact that China’s leadership can hardly wait for the fall of America, but then reflect on the rest of the story, which is that America’s greatest threat comes from within, especially if Americans allow their government to become no different than the Chinese government.
The post Tracking Down the Origin of Wuhan Coronavirus appeared first on Red Pill University.
Authored by Catherine Yang via The Epoch Times,
While The Epoch Times began publishing reports of the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus on Jan. 2, most outlets had yet to pick up on the story because of the CCP’s lockdown on information. Three months later, over 200 countries and territories have been infected and the CCP virus has caused over 85,000 deaths infecting at least 1.4 million, but information is murkier than ever.
“We’ve pretty much heard every rumor under the sun. We’ve heard every theory, every crazy rumor, we’ve heard all these different narratives,” said Joshua Philipp, award-winning investigative reporter and host of the show “Crossroads.”
The rumors aren’t by accident: The CCP has been actively engaging in a disinformation campaign, and media outlets around the world have parroted the propaganda. As a result, entire nations have been operating under false information as they try to battle the pandemic within their borders.

Philipp and his colleages at The Epoch Times and NTD Television thought it their responsibility to sift through all the information available, verify it, and put it into one place. The result is the just-premiered documentary “Tracking Down the Origin of the Wuhan Coronavirus,” which is available to watch online. Less than two days after its premiere, the documentary has around 1.6 million views across different platforms.
The film “really tries to sift through all of the rumors, all of the truths, all of the falsehoods, and show people as accurate a picture as possible of what really happened and where this virus actually came from,” Philipp said.
In it, Philipp pieces together the development of the virus and includes interviews that shed light on the Chinese regime’s actions and intentions.
It should be very telling that the nine-person panel the CCP created to address the pandemic, once it finally acknowledged the virus in January, is filled with propaganda officials, said China affairs columnist Gordon Chang in the documentary.
Many countries have accepted or bought faulty equipment from China, for example, and “they’re getting duped,” Philipp said.
“And, of course, this is because they don’t understand the Chinese Communist Party, they don’t understand how [the CCP] works, and, even as we speak right now, the Chinese Communist Party is claiming it’s over in China when it’s not.”

“And what that means is, as they open things up and reopen flights, there’s a major risk to other countries,” Philipp said.
“If [these countries] don’t have accurate information, then what can they base their information on?”
As the documentary shows, the CCP’s delay in sharing information about the virus with other countries was not mere oversight. And beyond covering up the epidemic, China’s current actions and disinformation continues to endanger lives around the globe. The CCP has gone from denying the existence of the virus to spreading as many lies as it can to obscure the truth.
“This is an issue of human life,” Philipp said.
From the beginning, the CCP has not been forthcoming.
“We don’t know what’s there, but the fact that the Communist Party is covering this up should trouble us deeply,” Chang said.
Those unfamiliar with the CCP will likely be shocked to discover the regime’s motives.
Philipp’s investigation of the CCP virus in this documentary goes back to the outbreak of SARS nearly two decades ago. The CCP tried to cover up the SARS outbreak as well, and The Epoch Times was one of the few media to expose this. There is precedent of the regime being untrustworthy in the event of an epidemic.
Philipp has been researching the CCP since 2008, and gave an example of its military approach to shed light on how the CCP can profit off this pandemic most consider a tragedy.
“One important thing to understand is they talk about war without morals. They talk about ‘unrestricted warfare’: war that does not take into account any concept of human rights, human dignity, human life. It is victory by any means. There is nothing they will not do, and we see the same thing in many parts of their system, including the medical system where altering the human genome is not a big deal to them,” Philipp said.
The documentary’s experts remind us: this is a nation that currently holds at least 1 million of its own people in concentration camps.
“They don’t care about human life when it comes to this regime—we’ve seen that in their human rights abuses,” Philipp said.

The documentary shows another link to SARS, and how one of China’s top virus experts’ study of SARS at the Wuhan Institute of Virology led to breakthroughs in creating a coronavirus to infect humans. But to what end?
“The Chinese Communist Party has been very open about its biological warfare ambitions, they don’t even try to hide it. And it’s been a huge injustice that people have not held them to stronger account than they should have, because the Chinese Communist Party is able to act with impunity and nobody criticizes what they do,” Philipp said.
The documentary is a comprehensive look at what the virus is and what has happened, and Philipp hopes it can allow nations to make better-informed decisions.

“At the very least, we can provide this as a package of information that will inform the entire world exactly where this virus came from, and exactly what needs to be done going forward,” he said.
“And at the very least, they will be more cautious when dealing with the Chinese Communist Party, especially at this time.”
“People’s lives are at stake and we find it very necessary to do this kind of work,” he said.
The information is perhaps more vital than ever, because while countries are turning to the World Health Organization for information, WHO is turning to the CCP.
General Robert Spalding, senior fellow at the Hudson Institute and former National Security Council senior strategy director, was in China when SARS broke out; he was evacuated, but he knows what a cover-up looks like. How the CCP handled the SARS cover-up is exactly how they have handled this one. He is among several experts who say the CCP clearly has no intention of ending the epidemic or curing the virus.

“You can see that the WHO is essentially following the Chinese Communist Party’s guidelines,” Spalding said.
The WHO isn’t the only organization doing so; international organizations to individual academic institutions around the world are afraid to say something that may anger the CCP. In recent weeks, Philipp had reached out many well-known scientists who once suggested the virus causing this mysterious COVID-19 disease was created in a lab, but they no longer wanted to talk.
From the beginning, the CCP prevented organizations like the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention from studying the origin of COVID-19, Gordon Chang said.
The CCP’s actions speak to a problem deeper than the virus.
“Every country has diseases, but in China they become national emergencies and global emergencies, because the real disease here is communism,” Chang said.

Watch the complete documentary below:
In the words of Rahm Emanuel, former Chief of Staff to Barack Obama, “never let a good crisis go to waste.”
Emanuel first said this during the 2008/2009 financial crisis… meaning that politicians can use a crisis as an opportunity to push through radical ideas that would otherwise never be accepted.
Late last month, Emanuel uttered the same words on ABC News This Week, admonishing politicians to not let this crisis go to waste either… and use it as a springboard to pass sweeping policy changes while people are too terrified to care.
And at this point in the pandemic it’s pretty clear that plenty of governments are absolutely not letting this crisis go to waste. Here’s a roundup of what’s happening around the world:
Philippines: “Shoot them dead”
In 2016 the President of the Philippines, Rodrigo Duterte, was elected on a “tough on crime” platform.
He wanted to bring back hangings for criminals convicted of murder and rape.
After being elected, Duterte said that drug traffickers, drug dealers, and even drug users should be shot dead in the street.
Other government officials insisted Duterte was exaggerating, just using theatrics to get his point across.
But sure enough, thousands of alleged drug dealers and users have been killed since 2016. Some were killed by police, and others by vigilantes.
Now the Philippines, like most of the world, is on lockdown to try to prevent the spread of CoronaVirus.
And in Duterte’s own words, “if there is any trouble” enforcing the lockdown, or people who ignore the rules, police should “shoot them dead.”
Hong Kong: GPS trackers
Hong Kong’s government (which at this point is basically an extension of mainland China) is forcing some people to wear bulky GPS trackers on their wrists.
This is happening at a time when Hong Kong is experiencing its second wave of Covid outbreaks. So the government started requiring new arrivals to strap on a wristband in order to ‘geofence’ people into their quarantine areas.
Once you arrive to your destination (your hotel, apartment, etc.) you have one minute to walk around so that the GPS tracker can map out the perimeter. And if you leave the area, the authorities are immediately alerted.
Violators face up to six months in prison and fines up to USD $3,200.
This is probably going to become the standard in the West, and I’ve been told by a source in Hong Kong that the World Health Organization is trialing these bracelets for release in western countries.
Poland: Mandatory selfie photos
Poland’s government developed a special app where users are forced to upload selfie photos to prove that they are inside and not violating the lockdown.
It’s called the “Home Quarantine” app, and it’s required for people returning to Poland from abroad who must self-quarantine for 14 days.
When the app requests a photo, users have twenty minutes to upload a selfie from inside their home, or the police come knocking.
Russia: 100,000 cameras with facial recognition across Moscow
After Russia’s Duma (parliament) voted in early March to allow Vladimir Putin to defy constitutional term limits and continue to seek re-election as President, the government has now deployed a network of 100,000 cameras with facial recognition in the streets of Moscow to track individuals who are supposed to be in quarantine.
Violations in Russia can carry severe penalties, up to seven years in prison.
Furthermore, even spreading what the government deems as ‘fake news’ about Covid-19 could result in up to five years in prison.
India: Flights and trains suspended, supply chain breaks down
India’s government ordered its population to quarantine last month… and then shut down the country’s primary transportation systems.
The government suspended both domestic flights and train travel, apparently not realizing that millions of people would be stranded and unable to return home to self-quarantine.
Unsurprisingly, the Wall Street Journal reported earlier this week that supply chains in India have also started to break down, causing shortages of certain foods.
Singapore: tracking everyone else you meet
Singapore’s government is using bluetooth and GPS data from its citizens mobile phones to map who everyone comes into contact with. They at least have announced that they will publish the source code of the tracking app.
Land of the Free: Ankle bracelets on, medical privacy off
The Commonwealth of Kentucky has begun ordering house-arrest ankle bracelets for some citizens who they deem susceptible to violate curfew.
Massachusetts, Alabama, and Florida have abandoned medical privacy laws, and officials are now informing the police and paramedics which homes have a resident who tested positive for Coronavirus.
South Africa: Bride and Groom arrested at their own wedding
A wedding that took place despite a nationwide ban on public gatherings in the South African state of KwaZulu Natal was broken up by police last weekend.
All 50 guests, plus the minister performing the service, and the bride and groom, were arrested and hauled off to jail.
Understandably, I imagine many readers might think, “Well that was stupid and a little bit selfish to hold a public gathering at a time like this.”
I agree. But it’s hard to ignore the fact that basic freedoms: freedom of assembly, freedom of worship, freedom of speech, privacy, etc. have gone out the window, all over the world.
Laws and constitutions everywhere are being violated. And while most of the discussion about this pandemic is ‘when will the public health emergency subside,’ and ‘when will the economy go back to normal,’ there’s hardly any discussion about “When will our freedoms be restored?”
It’s hard to imagine they’re going to stop the GPS tracking, the facial recognition, the criminal ‘fake news’ penalties, and the countless other ‘emergency measures’ anytime soon.
Think about it– 9/11 was nearly two decades ago and we’re still dealing with the freedom-eroding consequences of that event.
So we have to be honest with ourselves about this pandemic– the longer these freedoms are restricted, the more unlikely they’ll ever be restored.

Like her neighbor to the west – which, quips Wyoming Sen. John Barrasso, has been "socially distancing the entire 130 years that we have been a state" – Republican Gov. Kristi Noem says she won't shut down South Dakota in response to the coronavirus pandemic.
Noem argues South Dakota isn't New York City, and her job is to protect the right of the people to take responsibility and care for themselves and their neighbors.
Barrasso, a Republican, said Monday that Wyoming isn't ordering residents to stay home because social distancing already is occurring.
Wyoming has just five people per square mile and South Dakota has 11, while New York City has more than 27,000.
At a press conference, Noem rejected the one-size-fits-all approach to the pandemic, the Red State blog reported.
"Our Constitution ensures the citizen’s right is protected. I agree with the role of our government as set forth in our state and in our national constitution. I took an oath to uphold these constitutions," she said.
She's naturally concerned about public safety but believes it's the primary responsibility of the people.
"They are the ones that are entrusted with expansive freedoms – they’re free to exercise their rights to work, to worship, and to play – or to even stay at home, or to conduct social distancing," she said.
Noem noted that priorities in a city aren't the same on the plains.
"The calls to apply a one-size-fits-all approach to this problem in South Dakota is herd mentality, not leadership," she said.
RedState noted New York City, the epicenter of the pandemic in the United States, has had 130,689 coronavirus cases, with a death rate per million people of 243. South Dakota’s seen 288 cases, with a rate of fatality per million of only five.
"South Dakota is not New York City," the governor said. "And our sense of personal responsibility, our resiliency, and our already-sparse population density put us in a great position to manage the spread of this virus without needing to resort to some of the measures that we’ve seen in some of these major cities, coastal cities, and in other countries."
She said her state is making decisions based on its principles, common-sense conservative values, the facts, the science and the data.

The NWO propagandists have tried to use the COVID-19 umbrella term as the basis for this pandemic. However, it’s a trick. There are many causes and diseases all being placed under the COVID-19 umbrella term. The coronavirus fails Koch’s postulates as it has still never been isolated!
has been used in an absolutely unscientific, manipulative and deceptive way to justify this manufactured coronavirus crisis, which the evidence shows is a fake pandemic. The international lockdown which covers around 100 nations and at least 20% of the world right now is based upon the idea that there is a new distinct virus SARS-CoV2 which is spreading, infecting and causing the disease COVID-19. However, there are many key foundational questions which cannot be adequately answered. The most important of these is that the virus itself has never been isolated nor thoroughly proven to be causing the disease (or more accurately diseases) that people have! This is in addition to the obvious manipulation of the figures with false positives and other sleights of hand such as inflating the numbers by counting anyone who merely had the virus as “dead from” the virus. The coronavirus fails Koch’s postulates. The Emperor has no clothes – and all the power grabs and emergency decrees are based on lies. We are not looking at 1 virus, 1 cause and 1 disease; we are looking a cluster of diseases and a variety of causes, hidden by the COVID-19 umbrella term to fuel the fake pandemic narrative.
German scientist Robert Koch (Heinrich Hermann Robert Koch, 1843-1910) made great contributions to the field of microbiology. He is considered to be one of the founders of the field of modern bacteriology. He identified the specific causative agents of TB (tuberculosis), cholera and anthrax. For his work on TB, he was awarded the Nobel Prize in 1905 in Physiology or Medicine. Koch established 4 criteria to identify the causative agent of a particular disease. These criteria have become a gold standard for determining the existence of an infectious agent and for isolating and verifiying what is causing a disease. The criteria are a set of conditions known as Koch’s postulates. They are:
Firstly, the coronavirus SARS-CoV2 (allegedly causing the disease COVID-19) has not been shown to be present only in sick people and not in healthy ones. There are countless cases of people having this virus with mild, minor or zero symptoms. Recently Iceland tested a relatively large percentage of its population (around 5,000 people out of 364,000) and found that 0.86% (close to 1%) of Icelanders had the coronavirus. The symptoms? Little or none:
“Importantly, approximately half of the people who tested positive for COVID-19 are non-symptomatic, according to Gudnason as reported by BuzzFeed. The other half is mostly showing “very moderate cold-like symptoms.””
Secondly, the virus has never been isolated – which must be done with proper equipment such as electron microscopes and which cannot be achieved through CT scans (as the Chinese were using) and the flawed PCR test (more on this below). The January 24th 2020 study published in the New England Journal of Medicine entitled A Novel Coronavirus from Patients with Pneumonia in China, 2019 describes how the scientists arrived at the idea of COVID-19: they took lung fluid samples and extracted RNA from them using the PCR test. It admits that the coronavirus failed Koch’s postulates:
“Further development of accurate and rapid methods to identify unknown respiratory pathogens is still needed … our study does not fulfill Koch’s postulates.”
David Crowe doesn’t believe there is even sufficient evidence to justify calling this a new virus, let alone a pandemic. In his paper Flaws in Coronavirus Pandemic Theory, he writes:
“The world is suffering from a massive delusion based on the belief that a test for RNA is a test for a deadly new virus … If the virus exists, then it should be possible to purify viral particles. From these particles RNA can be extracted and should match the RNA used in this test. Until this is done it is possible that the RNA comes from another source, which could be the cells of the patient, bacteria, fungi, etc. There might be an association with elevated levels of this RNA and illness, but that is not proof that the RNA is from a virus. Without purification and characterization of virus particles, it cannot be accepted that an RNA test is proof that a virus is present.
Definitions of important diseases are surprisingly loose, perhaps embarrassingly so. A couple of symptoms, maybe contact with a previous patient, and a test of unknown accuracy, is all you often need. While the definition of SARS, an earlier coronavirus panic, was self-limiting, the definition of the new coronavirus disease is open-ended, allowing the imaginary epidemic to grow. Putting aside the existence of the virus, if the coronavirus test has a problem with false positives (as all biological tests do) then testing an uninfected population will produce only false-positive tests, and the definition of the disease will allow the epidemic to go on forever.
This strange new disease, officially named COVID-19, has none of its own symptoms. Fever and cough, previously blamed on uncountable viruses and bacteria, as well as environmental contaminants, are most common, as well as abnormal lung images, despite those being found in healthy people.”
He concludes:
“The coronavirus panic is just that, an irrational panic, based on an unproven RNA test, that has never been connected to a virus. And which won’t be connected to a virus unless the virus is purified. Furthermore, even if the test can detect a novel virus the presence of a virus is not proof that it is the cause of the severe symptoms that some people who test positive experience (but not all who test positive). Finally, even if the test can detect a virus, and it is dangerous, we do not know what the rate of false positives is. And even a 1% false positive rate could produce 100,000 false positive results just in a city the size of Wuhan and could mean that a significant fraction of the positive test results being found are false positives.
The use of powerful drugs because doctors are convinced that they have a particularly potent virus on their hands, especially in older people, with pre-existing health conditions, is likely to lead to many deaths. As with SARS.
There is very little science happening. There is a rush to explain everything that is happening in a way that does not question the viral paradigm, does not question the meaningfulness of test results, and that promotes the use of untested antiviral drugs.”
Yes, anti-viral drugs (which do a lot of damage to your body), and, more to the point, mandatory vaccinations.
Speaking of the “viral paradigm”, if you haven’t already seen it, please check out my earlier article Deep Down the Virus Rabbit Hole – Question Everything which introduces the idea that viruses are not what you think. The humble virus is deeply misunderstood. The human body is composed of 6 trillion cells, 60 trillion bacteria and 380 trillion viruses. Just as we have a microbiome of friendly bacteria which forms the basis of our immune system and 2nd brain in our gut, so too do we have a virome (a collection and community of viruses) which play a role in our healing. Through the ascendency of germ theory over host theory/terrain theory, the mainstream paradigm now teaches that viruses are “bad guys”, infectious agents “out there”, who can invade the body – thus reinforcing the need for Big Pharma drugs and vaccines. Viruses come from exosomes or tiny particles our bodies produce. They are not infectious agents. The exosome theory states that if cells are poisoned, they produce viruses (secretions) to clean up the toxins. This is what the plant kingdom does; when a tree has a beetle infestation, it makes a hormonal secretion to tell other trees to defend themselves.
Thus, Operation Coronavirus is not only a fake pandemic, but also a colossal and unprecedented worldwide psy op, based on exploiting our ignorance over the true nature of viruses. What a scam!!
Insiders and whistleblowers such as the one in the article Insider Exposes COVID-19 Coronavirus Scam have revealed how there are coronavirus test kits being distributed which don’t even test for the specific SARS-CoV2 strain! They just test for generic coronavirus (coronavirus is defined as the “common cold” in medical encyclopedias) which of course will produce more false positive (as the NWO agenda dictates). Meanwhile, the Medical Industry relies on the PCR test which I have exposed in other articles as wholly inadequate. The PCR Test is a surrogate test since it doesn’t actually isolate the virus. The founder of the PCR test Kary Mullins has admitted that you can’t use PCR “to prove infectious etiology or to diagnose an infectious disease.” Besides, you can manipulate the results PCR will yield by choosing how many cycles (amplifications) to run. For some diseases, if you lower the number of cycles to 35, it can make everyone appear negative, while if you increase them to above 35, it can make everyone appear positive.
Many people are grasping the importance of all the above information, and are now rightly asking: what is actually happening, if viruses cannot spread? What are people getting sick from? What is causing all the disease?
Before addressing that, it’s crucial to understand this one point: there is not 1 virus, there is not 1 cause and there is not 1 disease.
The NWO (New World Order) propagandists have created the appearance of an international pandemic by exploiting many common assumptions people have, including the idea of 1 disease caused by 1 infectious agent. Remember, the COVID-19 umbrella term can cover numerous symptoms (coughing, shortness of breath, increased mucus, fatigue, etc.) which may be caused by any number of things. Jon Rappaport wrote this piece on April 1st, very appropriately since it was April Fools Day:
“I keep pounding on this, because it’s the main illusion, and it’s the hardest illusion to dispel. People hang on to it like a life raft. The stage magicians present the “pandemic” as one disease with one cause, and people buy in immediately. Some people who reject the coronavirus as the cause present ANOTHER single cause—they’re falling for the basic con job. There are people in Wuhan who have pneumonia because of the horrendous air quality in the city. There are people in New York who have ordinary flu-like illness. There are people in Italy who have histories of multiple, long-term, serious health conditions—pneumonia, flu, cardiac problems, kidney problems—made far worse through treatment with toxic drugs. There are people in hospitals around the world who, after being diagnosed with COVID, are dosed with powerful toxic antiviral drugs. There are people on breathing ventilators who are being given too much oxygen and too much pressure—and their lungs collapse. There are perfectly healthy people who are testing positive for the virus because the test is irreparably flawed… All these people are called “COVID cases.”
…
The stage magic trick is easy to see, once you grasp the tactics: Claim to have discovered a new virus. Say it is spreading and needs to be contained. Invent an umbrella label for the epidemic: COVID-19. Start pulling all sorts of people with all sorts of different conditions under the umbrella and say they’re all “cases.” Use a diagnostic test that will automatically turn out many verdicts of “infected.” And you have the illusion of a pandemic.
…
Or you might get this: “No, it’s not the coronavirus, it’s really 5G technology that’s making people sick and killing them.” STILL falling for the magic trick. In certain places, 5G might be harming people. Indeed. And some of those people might be labeled as COVID. Yes. But “the whole thing” isn’t 5G, because THERE ISN’T ONE WHOLE THING.
There is no “it.””
This is the illusion we need to dispel: there is not 1 cause and there is not 1 disease.
This frontline NYC doctor Cameron Kyle-Sidell states here and here from firsthand experience that he is seeing a lot of patients been brought in and suffering from what seems like altitude sickness, a severe shortness of breath and lack of oxygen. He thinks they should be treated for hypoxemia (a condition where the oxygen content in the arterial blood is below normal, like altitude sickness) and not for ARDS (Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome, by definition a respiratory disease). This means less use of ventilators and breathing tubes, because as he says, it is highly likely the pressure from the ventilators may be damaging patients’ lungs. They need oxygen not pressure. He states that apparent COVID-19 patients do not appear to be suffering from anything resembling viral pneumonia.
When many people break out with a disease in the same region, it is easy to assume they are “catching” it from one another. Bill Gates-Netflix propaganda films like Contagion reinforce this programming. However this is an assumption. It is just as possible the people in a certain geographical area are all being subjected to the same poison and thus reacting in the same way. In other words, it could be because of a local contaminant rather than an infectious agent. What appears like contagion may actually be the consequence of mass long-term poisoning, but governments and corporations are never going to confess to that when they have a scapegoat killer virus they can blame instead.
So what are the causes? There are too many to list. For starters, many COVID-19 are false positive cases or died with the virus but not from the virus. Many other COVID-19 patients are elderly, have compromised immune systems or have co-morbidities. On top of that, consider the following:
1. Air pollution: the air in Wuhun China and Milan Italy is notoriously bad. Many of the symptoms people experienced there are perfectly explainable due to the atrocious air quality;
2. GMOs: GM crops, and thus glyphosate, have long contaminated the global food supply;
3. Biofuel made with GM corn: as Dr. Thomas Cowan speculates in this video, GM corn biofuel is now used in place of regular fuel. What happens when it is burned, used up and dispersed into the air for everyone to breathe in all the GMOs and glyphosate?;
4. Vaccines: the residents of Wuhan were reportedly mass vaccinated before the outbreak; and
5. EMF (e.g. Wi-Fi and 5G): the word has got out that the 5G 60GHz frequency interferes with oxygen absorption. Is it just a coincidence that the NHY doc above is revealing that people now have symptoms of hypoxemia or hypoxia?
There are many more. This is not an exhaustive list. The point is that there are many causes and many diseases occurring right now which are being lumped under the term COVID-19 to bolster the illusion of a raging pandemic.
If you didn’t know the history of fake pandemics, you might think that the WHO (World Health Organization), the USG (United States Government) and other world governments would have solid evidence for declaring a health emergency. They don’t. Asking key fundamental questions about how the nature of the COVID-19 disease, and how the virus is being isolated and tested, reveal a house of cards. There are serious fundamental flaws in the pandemic propaganda. This is unadulterated COVID-19 umbrella term fakery. What is happening here is not some wild killer virus, but a carefully crafted script to engineer a worldwide crisis and to blame mass long-term poisoning on a tiny invisible particle whose existence has yet to be conclusively proven as an infectious agent.
Is this a pandemic or a scamdemic?

The post COVID-19 Umbrella Term to Operate a Fake Pandemic: Not 1 Disease, Not 1 Cause appeared first on The Freedom Articles.
How did it come that COVID-19, birthing in China, immediately jumped to Italy, which has been among the hardest hit by the virus? This happened as two countries with which Beijing shares borders and maintains good relations – Russia and North Korea – remain, if those countries' reporting numbers can be trusted, relatively un-impacted by the virus.
Understanding how the road leading to COVID-19's entry into Italy was paved does not require medical expertise but revisiting political history. Italy's lesson is important to Americans today as 2020 Democratic Party voters came very close to nominating a socialist radical as their presidential candidate.
The potential for COVID-19 to invade Italy began six years ago. It evolved from close ties with China, generated by Beijing's "One Belt and One Road" (OBOR) initiative. In a nutshell, OBOR is a foreign-policy ploy by which China uses investment dollars or loans as bait to manipulate its way into becoming an integral part of a targeted country's infrastructure. As Chinese money oils the deal, contracts always go to Chinese companies that then bring in their own laborers and supplies. Beijing often utilizes prison labor for such requirements.
Armed with patience, China is willing to wait years to reap the benefits of this policy. With Italy, it came quick as it became the first and only G7 country to take the OBOR bait.
In 2014, Florence ex-Mayor Matteo Renzi – an ideological twin of Bernie Sanders – was elected Italy's prime minister. Like many Sanders' supporters in America, they were taken in by the socialist utopia promised. Appropriately, Renzi won office under Italy's Democratic Party banner – one more properly symbolized with the "hammer and sickle."
Once in office, Renzi transitioned a smoothly functioning capitalist economy into a failing socialist one. As Giacomino Nicolazzo reported, "Banks were failing … but not closing. Retirement ages were being extended … for some reason the pension funds were dwindling or disappearing. The national sales tax … rose from 18% to 20%, then to 21% and again to 22%" as the government – a socialist economic lion – fed more and more upon the nation's productive work force.
Italy's dire financial situation opened the country up to a savvy foreign investor – and so poised to join the lion in feeding upon Italy's economy was the Chinese dragon. Beijing stepped in to buy real estate, critical infrastructure companies (telecommunications, the chemical industry and the financial sector) as well as Italy's trademark and profitable fashion industry. Much of this acquisition occurred contrary to Italian law; however, Renzi allowed it as Chinese money kept fueling his failing socialist machine.
By 2016, China owned 27% of all major Italian corporations. When Beijing gained control of five major Italian banks, the lion and the dragon scratched each other's backs as these banks were "secretly (and illegally) propped up by Renzi using pilfered pension funds. Soon after, the China Milano Equity Exchange was opened, and much of Italy's wealth was being funneled back to the Chinese mainland," writes Nicolazzo.
Thus, within the European Union, the lion became the dragon's closest partner with traffic between the two countries becoming a major air freeway.
According to Nicolazzo, "Renzi's government afforded the Chinese unrestricted and unfettered access to Italy … many coming through without customs inspections. Quite literally, tens of thousands of Chinese came in through Milano (illegally) and went back out carrying money, technology and corporate secrets."
Ironically, capitalism was playing right into communist China's hands, transitioning Italy into a communist state.
Renzi was followed into office by Matteo Salvini whose brief tenure saw him reduce Chinese clout. However, the communist influence proved too much as Salvini was removed and replaced by Giuseppe Conte, who restored Chinese access.
The bottomline is an estimated 300,000 Chinese citizens relocated to Italy, coming and going at will. With some exposed to COVID-19, it was no wonder the country very quickly became a hotspot.
As is often the case in socialist/communist states, little accountability for treasury disbursements attach, creating a corresponding rise in government corruption. The COVID-19 pandemic focused on this quickly as funds intended to build up the health care system instead were committed to supporting the large Chinese immigrant community. Additionally, millions of dollars sent to Italy after a 2015 earthquake decimated villages east of Rome never made it there.
As unemployment for younger citizens reached 40%, additional health care funding was misappropriated to pay them a guaranteed income. Meanwhile, to create more tax income to cover shortages, officials even concocted a scheme by which occupants in buildings with balconies casting a ground shadow had to pay a "public shadow tax." One only wonders whether the act of breathing will become taxable.
Assisting in COVID-19's spread was political correctness. As the U.S. blamed China for the virus, local Italian officials implemented "Hug a Chinese Day" to dispel claims of racism on Italy's part. Videos from Italy show Chinese in areas heavily trafficked by pedestrians with signs inviting a hug. Weeks later 800 Italians would die within a 24-hour period. One wonders how many of them participated in the event. And, despite this effort, China soon turned its propagandist compass toward Italy, blaming it and the U.S. for COVID-19's spread.
We now know China knew it had a potentially global health problem two months before acknowledging it. One only wonders whether its Russian and North Korean friends were given earlier warnings due to their low COVID-19 case counts.
Simplified, the road to the current health situation in Italy was not paved with China's good intentions. Italy's desire to transition from capitalism to socialism created a government so firmly entrenched in debt, it saw China's OBOR program as a lifeline. Whether Italy realized it at the time or not, this lifeline would become an anchor around its neck. As those business activities from which China greatly benefited gradually fell under its control, Italy lost any ability to commit funding for its own projects, such as improving the health care industry. A sad reality today as a result is that physicians there trying to save COVID-19 patients are no longer permitted to put those over 60 on ventilators.
Italy is in a socio-economic tailspin of its own creation – allowing control of its infrastructure to be put into the hands of a country unconcerned about Italian citizens, for which thousands now pay a heavy price. After COVID-19 runs its course, Italians can count their dead as the Chinese count their money.

For three years, critics of President Donald Trump have claimed that he arrogantly refuses to listen to his experts and that his exaggerated sense of self prevents him from accepting his limitations. Applying that narrative to Trump's initial failure to appreciate the gravity of the coronavirus, NBC host Chuck Todd recently asked former Vice President Joe Biden, "Do you think there is blood on the president's hands, considering the slow response? Or is that too harsh of a criticism?" Even Biden called the criticism a "little too harsh."
"A little too harsh"? Trump, neither a doctor nor a scientist, merely followed the advice given him from his medical experts. The problem is that a lot of the advice was vague, inconsistent, contradictory or flat-out wrong.
Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases at the National Institutes of Health, and a member of Trump's Coronavirus Task Force, has become a respected voice in explaining the coronavirus, what to expect from it and how we can fight it. Democrats and Republicans praise him and his dedicated service under six presidents, both Republicans and Democrats.
But his advice has been well short of perfect. On Wednesday, March 11, the World Health Organization declared the coronavirus a "pandemic." Before this declaration, what did Fauci say?
This is from a Jan. 21, 2020, interview with Newsmax:
Host: "Bottom line, we don't have to worry about this one, right?"
Fauci: "Well, you know, obviously, you need to take it seriously and do the kinds of things that the CDC and the Department of Homeland Security are doing. But this is not a major threat (emphasis added) for the people of the United States, and this is not something that the citizens of the United States right now should be worried about."
On Feb. 3, 2020, Fauci told CNBC: "It's still an evolving situation. We don't know exactly where it's going to go, what the pattern is. But clearly right now at least the number of cases are accelerating." And in late March 2020, William Haseltine, Ph.D., former professor at Harvard Medical School and distinguished researcher in biophysics and biomedicine, admitted: "Well, we know it's highly infectious, and as the days go by, we're learning it's more infectious than we thought it was, say, a month ago, even two weeks ago."
The medical experts' advice has also been inconsistent on whether non-medical personnel with no symptoms should wear face masks in public. New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio recently issued a directive to do so: "Out of an abundance of caution, this is what I'm saying to all New Yorkers: Take a scarf, take a bandanna, just anything you have at home, just cover your face if you're going to be in close contact with people who are not your own family under your own roof." The mayor of Los Angeles, Eric Garcetti, issued a similar directive.
But just days earlier, on March 26, the World Health Organization tweeted: "If you do not have any respiratory symptoms, such as fever, cough, or runny nose, you do not need to wear a medical mask. When used alone, masks can give you a false feeling of protection and can even be a source of infection when not used correctly." An April 7 Guardian article writes: "Prof David Heymann, of the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, who chaired the WHO's scientific and technical advisory group for infectious hazards, said that unless people were working in healthcare settings, masks are 'only for the protection of others, not for the protection of oneself.'"
Now, the WHO tweet referred to medical masks. But Howard Zucker, New York state's health commissioner, said there was "no clear evidence" that covering one's face in public would slow down the rate at which the disease spreads.
Similarly, the advice on whether one should wear gloves while grocery shopping has also been inconsistent. Some say it reduces the chance of transferring the virus from surface to humans. But Fox News contributor Dr. Marc Siegel warned: "Gloves accumulate germs; gloves will accumulate viruses. You're going to not even realize when you touch something, then you have it on the gloves, then you transfer it to your face, then you can get infected. … You can't change them frequently enough to make a difference, so I vote no on that one. Yes, on the continued hand-washing."
Bottom line, many medical experts were caught flat-footed or were slow to recognize the seriousness of this pandemic. China's repeated denials and outright lies about the likely origin of the coronavirus did not help. A study by the University of Southampton estimates that 95% of the cases in China could have been avoided had China begun early detection, isolation of cases, travel restrictions and sanitary cordoning three weeks earlier.
The fact that all of this translates to Trump having "blood on his hands" is yet another symptom – not of the coronavirus but of Trump Derangement Syndrome.
The post Medical advice given to Trump was contradictory and inconsistent appeared first on WND.
Yesterday Mark Sommers QC, the extremely erudite and bookish second counsel for Julian Assange in his extradition hearing, trembled with anger in court. Magistrate Vanessa Baraitser had just made a ruling that the names of Julian Assange’s partner and young children could be published, which she stated was in the interests of “open justice”. His partner had submitted a letter in support of his Covid 19 related bail application (which Baraitser had summarily dismissed) to state he had a family to live with in London. Baraitser said that it was therefore in the interests of open justice that the family’s names be made public, and said that the defence had not convincingly shown this would cause any threat to their security or well-being. It was at this point Sommers barely kept control. He leapt to his feet and gave notice of an appeal to the High Court, asking for a 14 day stay. Baraitser granted four days, until 4pm on Friday.
I am in lockdown in Edinburgh, but received three separate eye witness reports. They are unanimous that yet again Baraitser entered the court carrying pre-written judgements before hearing oral argument; pre-written judgements she gave no appearance of amending.
There have been two Covid-19 deaths in Belmarsh prison so far. For obvious reasons the disease is ripping through the jail like wildfire. The Department of Justice is admitting to one death, and refuses to give statistics for the number of cases. As even very sick prisoners are not being tested, the figures would arguably not mean much anyway. As the court heard at the bail application, over 150 Belmarsh prison staff are off work self-isolating and the prison is scarcely functioning. It is the most complete definition of lockdown.
The Prison Governors’ Association submitted to the House of Commons Justice Committee (which yesterday morning considered prisoner releases in closed session) that 15,000 non-violent prisoners need to be released to give the jails any chance of managing COVID-19. The Department of Justice has suggested releasing 4,000 of whom just 2,000 have been identified. As of a couple of days ago, only about 100 had actually been released.
The prisons are now practising “cohorting” across the estate, although decisions currently lie with individual governors. Prisoners who have a cough – any cough – are being put together in segregated blocks. The consequences of this are of course potentially unthinkable. Julian has a cough and chronic lung condition for which he has been treated for years – a fact which is not in dispute.
Yesterday Baraitser again followed her usual path of refusing every single defence motion, following pre-written rulings (whether written or merely copied out by herself I know not), even when the prosecution did not object. You will recall that at the first week of extradition hearing proper, she insisted that Julian be kept in a glass cage, although counsel for the US government made no objection to his sitting in the body of the court, and she refused to intervene to stop his strip searching, handcuffing and the removal of his court papers, even though the US government joined the defence in querying her claim she had no power to do this (for which she was later roundly rebuked by the International Bar Association).
Yesterday the US government did not object to a defence motion to postpone the resumption of the extradition hearing. The defence put forward four grounds:
1) Julian is currently too ill to prepare his defence
2) Due to Covid-19 lockdown, access to his lawyers is virtually impossible
3) Vital defence witnesses, including from abroad, would not be able to be present to testify
4) Treatment for Julian’s mental health conditions had been stopped due to the Covid-19 situation.
Baraitser airily dismissed all these grounds – despite James Lewis QC saying the prosecution was neutral on the postponement – and insisted that the May 18 date remains. She stated that he could be brought to the cells in Westminster Magistrates Court for consultations with his lawyers. (Firstly, in practice that is not the case, and secondly these holding cells have a constant thoughput of prisoners which is very obviously undesirable with Covid19).
It is worth noting that the prosecution stated that the US government’s own psychiatrist, appointed to do an assessment of Julian, had been unable to access him in Belmarsh due to Covid 19 restrictions.
This is getting beyond me as it is getting beyond Mark Sommers and the defence team. Even before Covid 19 became such a threat, I stated that I had been forced to the conclusion the British Government is seeking Assange’s death in jail. The evidence for that is now overwhelming.
Here are three measures of hypocrisy.
Firstly, the UK insists on keeping this political prisoner – accused of nothing but publishing – in a Covid 19 infested maximum security jail while the much-derided Iranian government lets Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe out and hopefully will release her altogether.
Which is the inhumane regime?
Secondly, “open justice” allegedly justifies the release of the identities of Julian’s partner and kids, while the state enforces the secrecy of Alex Salmond’s busted accusers, even though the court heard evidence that they specifically colluded to destroy him using, as a deliberate tool, the anonymity afforded to people making sexual accusations.
Thirdly, nobody cultivates her own anonymity more than Vanessa Baraitser who has her existence carefully removed from the internet almost entirely. Yet she seeks to destroy the peace and young lives of Julian’s family.
Keep fighting for Julian’s life and for freedom.
