Ground Control to Planet Lockdown: This Is Only a Test
April 03, 2020
As much as Covid-19 is a circuit
breaker, a time bomb and an actual weapon of mass destruction (WMD), a fierce
debate is raging worldwide on the wisdom of mass quarantine applied to entire
cities, states, and nations.
Those against it argue Planet Lockdown
not only is not stopping the spread of Covid-19 but also has landed the global
economy into a cryogenic state – with unforeseen, dire consequences. Thus
quarantine should apply essentially to the population with the greatest risk of
death: the elderly.
With Planet Lockdown transfixed by
heart-breaking reports from the Covid-19 frontline, there’s no question this is
an incendiary assertion.
In parallel, a total corporate media
takeover is implying that if the numbers do not substantially go down, Planet
Lockdown – a euphemism for house arrest – remains, indefinitely.
Michael Levitt, 2013 Nobel Prize in
chemistry and Stanford biophysicist was spot on when he calculated that China
would get through the worst of Covid-19 way before throngs of health experts
believed, and that “What we need is to control the panic”.
Let’s cross this over with some facts
and dissident opinion, in the interest of fostering an informed debate.
The report Covid-19 – Navigating
the Uncharted was
co-authored by Dr. Anthony Fauci – the White House face of the fight –, H.
Clifford Lane, and CDC director Robert R. Redfield. So it comes from the heart
of the U.S. healthcare establishment.
The report explicitly states, “the
overall clinical consequences of Covid-19 may ultimately be more akin to those
of severe seasonal influenza (which has a case fatality rate of approximately
0.1%) or pandemic influenza (similar to those in 1957 and 1968) rather than a
disease similar to SARS or MERS, which have had case fatality rates of 9 to 10%
and 36%, respectively.”
On March 19, four days before Downing
Street ordered the British lockdown, Covid-19 was downgraded from
the status of “High Consequence Infectious Disease.”
John Lee recently retired professor of
pathology and former NHS consultant pathologist, has recently argued that “the world’s 18,944 coronavirus deaths represent
0.14 percent of the total. These figures might shoot up but they are, right
now, lower than other infectious diseases that we live with (such as flu).”
He recommends, “a degree of social
distancing should be maintained for a while, especially for the elderly and the
immune-suppressed. But when drastic measures are introduced, they should be
based on clear evidence. In the case of Covid-19, the evidence is not clear.”
No less than 22 scientists – see here and here –
have expanded on their doubts about the Western strategy.
Dr. Sucharit Bhakdi, Professor Emeritus
of Medical Microbiology at the Johannes Gutenberg University in Mainz, has
provoked immense controversy with his open letter to Chancellor Merkel, stressing the “truly unforeseeable consequences of
the drastic containment measures which are currently being applied in large
parts of Europe.”
Even New York Governor Andrew Cuomo
admitted on the record about the error of quarantining elderly people with
illnesses alongside the fit young population.
The absolutely key issue is how the West
was caught completely unprepared for the spread of Covid-19 – even after being
provided a head start of two months by China, and having the time to study
different successful strategies applied across Asia.
There are no secrets for the success of
the South Korean model.
South Korea was producing test kits
already in early January, and by March was testing 100,000 people a day, after
establishing strict control of the whole population – to Western cries of “no
protection of private life”. That was before the West embarked on Planet
Lockdown mode.
South Korea was all about testing early,
often and safely – in tandem with quick, thorough contact tracing, isolation
and surveillance.
Covid-19 carriers are monitored with the
help of video-surveillance cameras, credit card purchases, smartphone records.
Add to it SMS sent to everyone when a new case is detected near them or their
place of work. Those in self-isolation need an app to be constantly monitored;
non-compliance means a fine to the equivalent of $2,800.
Controlled
demolition in effect
In early March, the Chinese Journal of
Infectious Diseases, hosted by the Shanghai Medical Association, pre-published
an Expert Consensus on Comprehensive Treatment of Coronavirus in Shanghai. Treatment recommendations included,
“large doses of vitamin C…injected intravenously at a dose of 100 to 200 mg /
kg per day. The duration of continuous use is to significantly improve the
oxygenation index.”
That’s the reason why 50 tons of Vitamin
C was shipped to Hubei province in early February. It’s a stark example of a
simple “mitigation” solution capable of minimizing economic catastrophe.
In contrast, it’s as if the brutally
fast Chinese “people’s war” counterpunch against Covid-19 had caught Washington
totally unprepared. Steady intel rumbles on the Chinese net point to Beijing
having already studied all plausible leads towards the origin of the Sars-Cov-2
virus – vital information that will be certainly weaponized, Sun Tzu style, at
the right time.
As it stands, the sustainability of the
complex Eurasian integration project has not been substantially compromised. As
the EU has provided the whole planet with a graphic demonstration of its
cluelessness and helplessness, every day the Russia-China strategic partnership
gets stronger – increasingly investing in soft power and advancing a
pan-Eurasia dialogue which includes, crucially, medical help.
Facing this process, the EU’s top
diplomat, Joseph Borrell, sounds indeed so helpless: “There
is a global battle of narratives going on in which timing is a crucial factor.
[…] China has brought down local new infections to single figures – and it is
now sending equipment and doctors to Europe, as others do as well. China is
aggressively pushing the message that, unlike the U.S., it is a responsible and
reliable partner. In the battle of narratives, we have also seen attempts to
discredit the EU (…) We must be aware there is a geopolitical component
including a struggle for influence through spinning and the ‘politics of
generosity’. Armed with facts, we need to defend Europe against its
detractors.”
That takes us to really explosive
territory. A critique of the Planet Lockdown strategy inevitably raises serious
questions pointing to a controlled demolition of the global economy. What is
already in stark effect are myriad declinations of martial law, severe social
media policing in Ministry of Truth mode, and the return of strict border
controls.
These are unequivocal markings of a
massive social re-engineering project, complete with inbuilt full monitoring,
population control and social distancing promoted as the new normal.
That would be taking to the limit
Secretary of State Mike “we lie, we cheat, we steal” Pompeo’s assertion, on the
record, that Covid-19 is a live military exercise: “This matter is going
forward — we are in a live exercise here to get this right.”
All
hail BlackRock
So as we face a New Great Depression,
steps leading to a Brave New World are already discernable. It goes way beyond
a mere Bretton Woods 2.0, in the manner, that Pam and Russ Martens superbly deconstruct the
recent $2 trillion, Capitol Hill-approved stimulus to the U.S. economy.
Essentially, the Fed will “leverage the
bill’s $454 million bailout slush fund into $4.5 trillion”. And no questions
are allowed on who gets the money because the bill simply cancels the Freedom
of Information Act (FOIA) for the Fed.
The privileged private contractor for
the slush fund is none other than BlackRock. Here’s the extremely short version
of the whole, astonishing scheme, masterfully detailed here.
Wall Street has turned the Fed into a
hedge fund. The Fed is going to own at least two-thirds of all U.S. Treasury
bills wallowing in the market before the end of the year.
The U.S. Treasury will be buying every
security and loan in sight while the Fed will be the banker – financing the
whole scheme.
So essentially this is a Fed/ Treasury
merger. A behemoth dispensing loads of helicopter money – with BlackRock as the
indisputable winner.
BlackRock is widely known as the biggest
money manager on the planet. Their tentacles are everywhere. They own 5% of
Apple, 5% of Exxon Mobil, 6% of Google, the second-largest shareholder of AT&T
(Turner, HBO, CNN, Warner Brothers) – these are just a few examples.
They will buy all these securities and
manage those dodgy Special Purpose Vehicles (SPVs) on behalf of the Treasury.
BlackRock not only is the top investor
in Goldman Sachs. Better yet: Blackrock is bigger than Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan
and Deutsche Bank combined. BlackRock is a serious Trump donor. Now, for all
practical purposes, it will be the operating system – the Chrome, Firefox,
Safari – of Fed/Treasury.
This represents the definitive Wall
Street-ization of the Fed – with no evidence whatsoever it will lead to any
improvement in the lives of the average American.
Western corporate media, en masse, have
virtually ignored the myriad, devastating economic consequences of Planet
Lockdown. Wall to wall coverage barely mentions the astonishing economic human
wreckage already in effect – especially for the masses barely surviving, so
far, in the informal economy.
For all practical purposes, the Global
War on Terror (GWOT) has been replaced by the Global War on Virus (GWOV). But
what is not being seriously analyzed is the Perfect Toxic Storm: a totally
shattered economy; The Mother of All Financial Crashes – barely masked by the
trillions in helicopter money from the Fed and the ECB; the tens of millions of
unemployed engendered by the New Great Depression; the millions of small
businesses that will simply disappear; a widespread, global mental health
crisis. Not to mention the masses of elderly, especially in the U.S., that will
be issued an unspoken “drop dead” notice.
Beyond any rhetoric about “decoupling”,
the global economy is already, de facto, split in two. On one side, we have
Eurasia, Africa and swathes of Latin America – what China will be painstakingly
connecting and reconnecting via the New Silk Roads. On the other side, we have
North America and selected Western vassals. A puzzled Europe lies in the
middle.
A cryogenically induced global economy
certainly facilitates a reboot. Trumpism is the New Exceptionalism – so that
means an isolationist MAGA on steroids. In contrast, China will painstakingly
reboot its market base along the New Silk Roads – Africa and Latin America
included – to replace 20% of trade/exports to be lost with the U.S.
The meager $1,200 checks promised to
Americans are a de facto precursor of the much-touted Universal Basic Income
(UBI). They may become permanent as tens of millions of people will be
permanently unemployed. That will facilitate the transition towards a totally
automated, 24/7 economy run by AI – thus the importance of 5G.
And that’s where ID2020 comes in.
AI
and ID2020
The European Commission is involved in the crucial but virtually unknown project, CREMA (Cloud Based Rapid Elastic Manufacturing) which
aims to facilitate the widest possible implementation of AI in conjunction
to the advent of a cashless One-World system.
The end of cash necessarily implies A one-World government capable of dispensing – and controlling – UBI; a de facto
full accomplishment of Foucault’s studies on biopolitics. Anyone is liable to
be erased from the system if an algorithm equals this individual with dissent.
ID2020 is
self-described as a benign alliance of “public-private partners”. Essentially,
it is an electronic ID platform based on generalized vaccination. And it
starts at birth; newborns will be provided with a “portable and persistent
biometrically-linked digital identity.”
GAVI, the Global Alliance for Vaccines and
Immunization pledges to “protect people’s health “ and provide “immunization
for all”. Top partners and sponsors, apart from the WHO, include, predictably,
Big Pharma.
At the ID2020 Alliance summit last
September in New York, it was decided that the “Rising to the Good ID
Challenge” program would be launched in 2020. That was confirmed by the World
Economic Forum (WEF) this past January in Davos. The digital
identity will be tested with the government of Bangladesh.
That poses a serious question: was
ID2020 timed to coincide with what a crucial sponsor, the WHO, qualified as a
pandemic? Or was a pandemic absolutely crucial to justify the launch of ID2020?
As game-changing trial runs go, nothing
of course beats Event 201, which
took place less than a month after ID2020.
The Johns Hopkins Center for Health
Security in partnership with, once again, the WEF, as well as the Bill and
Melinda Gates Foundation described Event 201 as “a high-level pandemic
exercise”. The exercise “illustrated areas where public/private partnerships
will be necessary during the response to a severe pandemic in order to diminish
large-scale economic and societal consequences.”
With Covid-19 in effect as a pandemic,
the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health was forced to issue a statement basically
saying they just “modeled a fictional coronavirus pandemic, but we explicitly
stated that it was not a prediction”.
There’s no question “a severe pandemic,
which becomes ‘Event 201’ would require reliable cooperation among several
industries, national governments, and key international institutions”, as spun
by the sponsors. Covid-19 is eliciting exactly this kind of “cooperation”.
Whether it’s “reliable” is open to endless debate.
The fact is that, all over Planet
Lockdown, a groundswell of public opinion is leaning towards defining the
current state of affairs as a global psyop: a deliberate global meltdown – the
New Great Depression – imposed on unsuspecting citizens by design.
The powers that be, taking their cue
from the tried and tested, decades-old CIA playbook, of course, are breathlessly
calling it a “conspiracy theory”. Yet what vast swathes of global public opinion
observe is a – dangerous – virus being used as a cover for the advent of a new,
digital financial system, complete with a forced vaccine cum nanochip creating
a full, individual, digital identity.
The most plausible scenario for our
immediate future reads like clusters of smart cities linked by AI, with people
monitored full time and duly micro-chipped doing what they need with a unified
digital currency, in an atmosphere of Bentham’s and Foucault’s Panopticum on
overdrive.
So if this is really our future, the
existing world-system has to go. This is a test, this is only a
test.
