Zero Hedge, Event 201 Unfolds: Covid-19 Action Platform = Global Government

James Fetzerblog

by Tyler Durden In late January we noted Event 201’s significance:  Only three months ago, John Hopkins, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and the World Economic Forum (a hive of self-professed globalists) ran a “pandemic simulation” called “Event 201” specifically focused on Coronavirus.  Not Ebola, or Swine Flu or even Avian Flu – but CORONAVIRUS.  The simulation features the spread of coronavirus in South America, blamed on animal to human transmission (pigs).  The conclusion of the exercise was that national governments were nowhere near ready, scoring 40 out of 100 on their preparedness…

Rush Got it Right: Democrats Decide to Lose with Biden, Keep Establishment in Power

James Fetzerblog

Rush Limbaugh [Editor’s note: Rush Limbaugh nailed it two weeks ago (3 March 2020), which I meant to share here but missed. So I’m making it up now. Because Biden has lost it, he’s merely a placeholder until the Milwaukee Convention, where (I anticipate) Hillary or Michelle (or both) will replace him. By weakening the economy with a political pandemic, they are counting on Google for around 15,000,000 votes to give themselves a shot at it, where they will explain the upset–should they succeed–as the American people’s enthusiasm for a…

Jim Fetzer, The Coronavirus Phenomenon is a Political Pandemic, not a Medical Emergency

James Fetzerblog

Jim Fetzer [Editor’s note: The authenticity of the Kissinger quote with which I end this blog has been challenged, probably correctly. Even though he does not appear to have said those words on that occasion–and the organization itself seems to be a fiction–this attribution fits the situation and conveys better what I take to be going on than anything he may have actually said, where the range of “Kissinger quotes”  (including about “useless eaters”) is illustrated here.] When everyone from the White House Coronavirus Expert to Cher thinks we are…

Jack Mullen, The Empire’s New Virus, Financial Collapse and the Ghost of Vaccines Past

James Fetzerblog

Jack Mullen Did you hear John Travolta has the Corona virus?  But it turned out to be Saturday Night Fever so he’s staying alive. * I have always found the story of the Emperor’s New Clothes to be evergreen, containing new and valuable information for each new generation that finds the story. The Coronavirus Sometimes it rhymes, the Empire’s New Virus might be a future story that relates the older version to a new generation. A good friend of mine suggests “I believe that is the plan to destroy the global economy and get…

Manlio Dinucci, (Of Course!) The Hidden Military Use of 5G Technology

James Fetzerblog

by Manlio Dinucci The operation organised by the “Five Eyes” against Huawei aims exclusively to ensure that 5G technology in the West will not be controlled by a Chinese company. As a Pentagon report attests, this civilian technology is primarily used for military purposes. At the London Summit, NATO’s 29 countries pledged to “guarantee the security of our communications, including 5G”. Why is this fifth generation mobile data transmission technology so important for the Atlantic Alliance? While previous technologies were finalised to produce ever more advanced smartphones, 5G is designed not…

Peter van Buren, Covid-19, AIDS, & The Politics of Viral Fear

James Fetzerblog

Peter van Buren In the 1980’s, agenda-driven panic around the HIV epidemic set back the public health response by years… Nothing is more viral than fear. Fear – fight or flight – is a terrible way to make decisions that call for time, science, and rational thinking. Want to screw up a public health crisis? Let fear drive. Democrats, Pavlovian conditioned by years of believing everything Trump does is “an existential threat,” are about twice as likely as Republicans to say the coronavirus poses an imminent danger. Make a joke of it—pandemic or…

Arun Gupta, Trump Beats Biden

James Fetzerblog

By Arun Gupta, Jacobin The Democratic Party establishment has united behind the candidate who has failed at running for president for 32 years. Defender of banks and drug companies, Joe Biden is the swamp creature of Donald Trump’s dreams. oe Biden may have pulled off a miracle on Super Tuesday, but he is a desperation candidate for Democratic National Committee (DNC) honchos. For a year, they flirted with Beto O’Rourke and Pete Buttigieg and Amy Klobuchar and Mike Bloomberg, and they even considered Elizabeth Warren in the hopes that someone,…

Sputnik International, The Biden Bet: How Could Hillary Clinton Claw Her Way to the Presidency?

James Fetzerblog

Sputnik International  The 2020 election cycle in the United States has been rife with partisan infighting and power plays, and produced speculation galore. One of the biggest rumours thus far is whether the Democratic heavyweight Hillary Clinton will enter the fray again. Joe Biden’s once-moribund presidential bid came back from the dead in the past week, but there has also been an increasingly growing flow of questions regarding his mental health from his detractors. A three-page medical report, which did not include a cognitive functioning test, stated that he is fit for…

Matt Taibbi, To Rebound and Win, Bernie Sanders Needs to Leave His Comfort Zone

James Fetzerblog

MATT TAIBBI  Current and former staffers say Sanders has run a great campaign — except when it comes to taking on Democrats like Joe Biden by name. Can he fix that? A former aide to Bernie Sanders tells a story about the old days, when the little-known House Independent used to crisscross Vermont holding town hall meetings. “It was morning to night, and we’d hit every corner of the state,” the aide recalls. “They would go on and on. I’d say to him, ‘Bernie, it’s okay if we leave a little bit…

Nathan Robinson, Stop Saying Biden Is the ‘Most Electable.’ Trump Will Run Rings Round Him

James Fetzerblog

By Nathan Robinson Did we learn nothing from 2016? Trump is savagely effective at destroying establishment politicians – and Biden would lose. upporters of Joe Biden are unlikely to be persuaded by most of the common criticisms. They know he can be rambling and unintelligible. They know his record is unimpressive and that he doesn’t really have “policy proposals”. None of this matters, though, because to them he has the most important quality of all: he can beat Donald Trump. Nothing you can say about the former vice-president’s record, platform…
